Mimai Signs US C TE Alex Holmes

[Boomer]

Graded as a 5th rounder by PFW and TSN, he's small at around 6'1 and half but very strong and has tremendous hands. He's actually a pretty decent blocker - good base, really strong legs and he's the sort of guy who will come up with critical 3rd and 4, 3rd and 7 catches. He ain't beating anyone with speed, but he is a consistent blocker and has really good mitts.

ANOTHER good signing.

Oooo. Very, very good signing. I was trying to track him earlier today.

Good pickup...will be a good backup for Mcmichael or maybe fill in for him if he cant resign

I've seen him play several times. Very Good Player.

That was either Holmes or Dominique Byrd, who is a top TE prospect for 2006.

Yea, he was also the one who made that amazing catch in the Fog when USC played Oregon or some other team, I forgot, but it was foggy like no other, and you could barely see in front of you, and Leinart threw it to him, and he made this beautiful one handed catch. It was simply amazing.

He ran a 4.92....is small and has back problems....not that good.
