From virtually the day he was drafted, I was quickly on board the Cole Holcomb hype train. How can you not root for a guy who was a walk-on in college, who made it to the pros - being drafted in the 5th round - and who comped athletically to some of the best linebackers in the game?
There’s no question he was raw coming out, but over the course of the past three seasons in Washington, his maturation has been clear, and the word from on high this offseason is that he’s being considered for one of the most important positions on the defense.
