Former LSU two-sport star Trindon Holliday’s knack for
getting things done quickly evidently translates to his work off the field.
On Friday, the 5-foot-5, 161-pounder, who captured a 2009
NCAA 100-meter dash championship and posted a pair of sub-4.4 times at the NFL
combine, became the first draft selection of any team to agree to a contract.
Selected by the Houston Texans with the 28th overall pick in
the sixth-round, Holliday is expected to compete for a special teams spot and
possibly enter the mix at receiver.
According to Adam Caplan of ScoutNFLNetwork.com, the Texans
and Holliday agreed on a four-year, $2.731 million maximum contract. The base
deal (signing bonus and minimum base salaries) is worth just shy of $1.9
million.
