Houston Texans 2020 NFL Draft: Darnay Holmes could be Day 3 option

In the Lindy’s Draft magazine, one player is listed as not only a fourth-round projection, but a sleeper in the 2020 NFL Draft. He plays at a need position for the Texans, and his name is Darnay Holmes.

Holmes played his collegiate football at UCLA, and the 5-10, 195-pound cornerback recorded a 40-yard dash time of 4.48 seconds at the 2020 NFL Combine and had a 225-pound bench press of 12 reps at the same event.

The UCLA cornerback does need to add to his overall game with NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein having the following opinion on Holmes when it comes to weakness in his game, with a couple being “below-average instincts from off coverage and route anticipation and response quickness missing the mark.
