-- Name that prospect --
- Movement toolbox & Movement economy -
Economical mover with an ideal combination of fluidity & abruptness to be an every-down rusher if he recieves the opportunity. Regularly surprises defenders with the oscillation of tempo through his cuts & ability to change speeds easily. Has some fun moments as a mover where he varies stride length to manipulate a downhill defender - tough to deal with him in both open & condensed areas.
Wins singular engagements regularly against backers & displays the lateral skillset needed to beat defensive backs at a high clip. Not an overly dramatic mover in terms of tools - his marriage of acceleration & economy drives his game.
- Skillset as a receiver -
Above-average skillset as a receiving option. Shows the tempo needed to run the angle/option elements of the RB tree & can snare off-target passes with sound technique. His capabilities as a screen receiver are the most noteworthy capability when talking about how he contributes as a pass catcher.
Weaves through alleys to create explosives in the screen game with great awareness for upfield blocking angles.
- Anticipatory qualities & Field IQ -
Excellent feel for what defenders are giving him combined with what is being blocked. Shows advanced manipulative tactics in gap & in space.
High field IQ & instincts - rarely makes movement based mistakes. Played behind a porous offensive line with middle of the road Quarterback play - definitely feel that his system/line held him back from much greater performances.
- Play Speed -
Upper shelf accelerator with above-average capabilities at high speeds. About as well-rounded as you can get during acceleration. Can easily get by linebackers in a curvilinear fashion up the boundary & outrace a Safety that drops down into the box. An explosive play waiting to happen with sound blocking.
Offers significant upside as a kick returner as well - field IQ & play speed are high-end enough for this to be a long-term role.
- Through contact skillset & balance post-contact -
Better than you would think for a back of his stature. Can work through wraps, shrug off glances and take on direct contact while not altering his forward momentum. His frame can show up - he’ll be overpowered at times by backers, but is generally difficult to tackle for any defender with how well he combines his acceleration with sound pad level. Above requisite during in-direct contact - bounces around when not wrapped up & can push piles.
- Non-linear athletic qualities -
Spins, changes pace, and can re-accelerate when in awkward positions. Extremely quick & decisive mover who shows advanced creative elements. Can chain lateral to linear fluidly - does not decelerate during cuts.
- Down to down dependability -
Can carry the load for an offense down to down. Trust his between-the-ears traits to keep an offense on schedule. The biggest issue will be the fumbles - 9 in the past two seasons. That number could cause a slide in the NFL draft.
Has to keep the ball tighter to his frame & protect during hard contact. Can try to deflect off of defenders for additional yardage & can lead to ball security issues.
There are times when tackles & ends strip him from behind when he is focused on the upfield defender.
- Success in short areas -
The best low red zone player in this 2026 cycle. Plays big in small spaces & is decisive in goal-to-go situations.
Appreciate his toughness & relentless motor when scoring opportunities arise.

@TOUGHTlME Giving up all those picks for him was overkill I agree there

@TOUGHTlME To be fair nobody saw Holmes blowing his achilles out in the summer league. He was a really good prospect

imagine if we drafted him instead of daron and kept our picks

@C0l0rado Agree just play defense and if they hit a shot fine. Also only having 3 guys in on the intentionally missed free throw is just insane
English

@_StephenMurphy I don't get the foul when up 3, just play D and make them make a 3. If you want them to foul, tell players we have a foul to give in ot on last play and foul if beat. Situational awareness is abysmal
