The Australian native stood out in a big way against Philadelphia, catching five passes for 55 yards, including a highly impressive 27-yard grab down the sideline.
Over the course of the preseason, Holmes caught eight passes for 85 yards, while leading the Jets with six receiving first downs.
Since he is part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway program, the Jets can keep Holmes on their practice squad without having him count against the 10-player limit. He wouldn’t be able to play in the 2019 regular season, but the Jets can groom him throughout the year and bring him back into the fold next summer.
