   I wouldn't say he fears contact but he does not crave contact.


       They like to call him Ed Reed but he does not appear to have Reed’s heart

Hits the ball carrier head on, stops forward progress, did not wrap up and someone else cleaned up the mess.

One of the worst tackle attempts EVER

 

*** Other plays that he was involved in were more like gang tackles or clean up, except one where he got the tackle but because of an error on the commercial break you couldn't see it develop only the RB going to the ground on top of him.

 
My Meaningless Observations:

** Never once was there a form tackle or any sort of wrapping up, more or less the Reggie Nelson bump. The only two punishing blows (not very punishing but well timed) were to the back of the WR. He did dislodge the ball both times so I guess it worked

 

Clearly involved with getting people in to the right positions and is seen as a leader on the defense.

 

Seemed to have good speed and covered the entire field staying in stride with WRs going deep.

 

He gets blocked pretty easily sometimes, especially around the line of scrimmage but he is usually playing center field.

This is more or less how I feel about Holliman. Does a lot right and a lot well, but there's a lot to be desired with him. Good player, I just wouldn't take him in the first. Id take Collins and Prewitt before I touch Holliman. If he ends up in teal, I'd root for his success and progress. I think the FS class is rather weak this year. Thank you for your fair evaluation!
