The Minnesota Vikings run a 4-3 defense, often featuring Cover 2 and Cover 3 looks with a strong emphasis on disciplined run defense and pass rush from the defensive line.
Could compete for a rotational 5-technique defensive end spot in Year 1, with a ceiling to become a versatile starter capable of moving inside on passing downs.
A weak-side edge rusher in a scheme demanding pure speed and bend off the edge, where his length and bulk would be underutilized.
Holmes's versatility and strength against the run make him a good fit for a 4-3 system that values powerful, scheme-versatile defensive linemen.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
