Quote:Holliman interests me a lot. Is his tackling issue a coaching issue? Meaning something that can be helped with NFL level defensive coaches? His ball skills are awesome and this team severely needs more INTs.

He's an interesting prospect but his tackling (or lack thereof) could become a major issue at the next level if not corrected early. From his draft profile on NFL.com:

Quote: Atrocious tackler. Would rather hit than tackle. Doesn't wrap up and gives limited effort. Had 44 total tackles with 20 missed and/or broken tackles, which was the worst ratio for an FBS starter. Slow to break down in space and lacks balance and base when tackling. Doesn't always play at full speed or with max effort. Gives half-hearted attempt as high-to-low blitzer.

There's also rumors that he has poor work ethic and that would need to be checked into before investing any type of draft pick on him.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."
