The first thing that jumps out at you about Holmes is his size. This former basketball player is a formidable 6-5, 260 pounds. The issue is his production never matched up to his potential.
He has all the physical tools you want in a tight end. Along with his size, he ran a 4.7 40-yard-dash at his pro day which would have been good for third among tight ends at the combine.
As a junior he caught 25 passes for 158 yards and 2 touchdowns. That was a career best in catches and it had him entering his senior season in 2013 on the preseason Mackey Award watch list.
