He’s a rookie who was undrafted.
Oh, and he’s a wide receiver.
So new Dallas Cowboys roster member Traeshon Holden making a bold statement upon his arrival here at The Star is …
Notable.
Having been undrafted, which is a blow to the ego of any college prospect, Holden was one of nine undrafted free agents the Cowboys picked up, and he’s coming into rookie minicamp with an axe to grind.
Coming off his best-ever college season with Oregon, that saw him post 718 receiving yards, along with five touchdowns, Holden thought he would hear his name called. After all, what about his skill set being good enough for a collegiate career at Alabama and then the Ducks?
What about a two-year stretch of his college career with 82 receptions, 1,170 yards and 11 touchdowns?
But no call.
And you can ask any undrafted player, once they step foot into an NFL building, already fighting against the tide to make the roster, there is one mindset, and Holden’s sole focus has now been revealed.
“Prove everybody wrong,” Holden said via dallascowboys.com. “Everybody. I’m coming for heads. That’s it.”
