02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Holmes is an excellent fit for a Cover-3 heavy zone scheme that values big, physical corners who excel in press man coverage on the outside.
Boundary CBPress Man CBCover-3 flat defender
Best role
Year 1 could see him as a rotational outside corner and special teams ace, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable starting boundary corner.
Wrong fit
He would be a poor fit for a man-heavy scheme that frequently asks its corners to trail against quicker, shifty receivers.
His size, physicality, and press ability make him a valuable asset for teams looking to control the outside and play a disciplined zone coverage.
