Player Profile: Trindon Holliday

Trindon Holliday WR/KR/RB – LSU Senior 5’5″ 160 lbs

Pros – The word fast doesn’t do Holliday justice. Once he gets in the NFL, he will automatically be the fastest guy. Very quick on top of that. One on one in the open field, very few people stand a chance at tackling him. His low frame also plays in his advantage when he has the ball. As a KR, there may be few that are better. If he hits a hole, he’s gone.


Cons – Likely will be shifted to WR in the NFL due to beating RBs take. If so, he will be very small for a WR. On top of that, he is extremely raw on route running. Streak, post and screen is about all he runs as of now. Doubt he will have much success catching the ball over the middle. One big hit and he’s going to be crushed. His speed won’t work against everyone in the NFL either. Good game planning can take him out of the game.


Final Thoughts – Holliday is fun to watch when he has the ball. If he’s in the open field, it’s on the highlight reel on ESPN. Will definitely get looks as a KR/PR. However, he is very small. Few players have successful careers that are below 5’8 in the NFL. It will take a lot of work to make him a polished route runner. If he can overcome those fallbacks, he will be one of the toughest guys to game plan against.
