A Brief History of Jesse Holley

|

If you were watching the game yesterday, wondering who that really fast guy with the awesome hair was — the one who looked like he could be Tony Romo’s new favorite late-game weapon — you’re not alone. He is, of course, the “reality star,” the guy who won Michael Irvin’s show “4th and Long” for a spot at the 2009 training camp. From there he made the practice squad, where he spent a season and a half until getting called up last season. Before yesterday, he had never caught a pass in an NFL game. It’s a pretty sweet story. Even sweeter though, was Holley’s quote after the game, about the 77-yard play he made to set up the winning field goal: “If I drop that pass,” Holley said with a wide smile, “my bag might beat me back to Dallas.”
