Holmes consistently reads routes well and reacts quickly to the quarterback. His interception and multiple breakups in his highlights show that he has strong anticipation and timing.
He looks very comfortable playing with a cushion. Holmes shows good patience, good break timing, and has good closing ability on short routes.
A few of his highlights show him tracking the football and consistently getting his hands on passes in both underneath and deep coverage situations.
There are a couple of plays that show Holmes’ ability to stay in phase with receivers on vertical routes. His length at 6-2 helps a lot when he contests fade balls. Holmes uses an effective bail technique and maintains depth in zone coverage looks.
At 6-2, he has that cornerback length that college coaches like. If he’s still at 160 pounds, there’s room for further physical development. There’s a limited sample size, but he does show a willingness to support the run in a few clips that I watched.
Holmes needs additional strength and mass. Definitely would like to see how he looks in position drills (quickness on breaks, transitioning, etc). Holmes has strong ball skills and solid technique. I’m impressed with his off-man skills. Definitely has a lot of upside.
