I just said this in another thread but Holyfield is a monster and his dad is/was a legend. He's easily one of my favorite UDFA and it's not from a lack of mesurables (though his 40 time isn't ideal). He's a thumper that could really be a short yardage monster compliment to CMC. Look at this kid's build.

Seems like we always get an UDFA and they seem like they will be great but rarely are. We'll see

nah they never seem like they'll be great. some people here like to hype them up for no reason.

I love him. Wanted him early and in all mocks, had him comin to us in the 4th. Holyfield and Scarlett are tough runners. CAP and Hood better not make the team or Ron can say goodbye to this team real early.

CAP and Hood are tough runners also, particularly Hood. Of course we can probably assume that if CAP were an answer, he'd have secured a place by now, so he's JAG. Perhaps Hood can be viewed in the same way albeit he is still somewhat of a mystery. I am just not rubber-stamping any of them right now. Skill set, including blocking should tell the story.

Well one thing that we can say right now is that Hood is better at catching the ball out of the backfield than Scarlett so I think it's going to be good competition.  Let's hope Hood has fully healed because he was looking pretty good before he got hurt last year. It's still possible they can sign someone before training camp starts because Scarlett may need to go to the Practice Squad. I hope Holyfield makes the team because he definitely seems like someone that can push the pile.

I know people poop on his 40/speed, please watch some videos(not just highlights). He was running away from DBs and LBs that ran in 4.5s. Not saying Holyfield is Emmitt Smith, just for reference. Emmit ran a 4.7 in the 40 at 5 feet 9, 216 pounds. It's rare but some play faster with 15 lbs of uniform/equipment in-game environment. I believe this has a good shot at being herniays best UDFA ever. Its wiiiiide open for #2 RB, he could fill that role.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
