Holmes is dynamic on kick returns. He only needs a small hole or one block to break it all the way to the end zone.
He put a lot of pressure on the Alouette kick-off teams, who contained him by swarming the speedy back and group tackling him.
Holmes is always a threat when he gets his hands on the ball.
