06/03/2015 NFL Note - Oakland Raiders Holliday, Trindon
WR/return specialist Trindon Holliday was signed by the Raiders
Wednesday (June 3).
Holliday scored four touchdowns on runbacks for the Denver
Broncos in 2012 and 2013 and became the first player in NFL
history to score on a punt return and kickoff return in a
playoff game when he did it against the Baltimore Ravens in
January 2013.
The Broncos let him go last year and injuries largely prevented
him from contributing in very brief stints with New York Giants,
Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers in 2014. He was
released by the 49ers on April 30.
Holliday, who is 5-foot-5, was drafted in the sixth round out of
LSU in 2010 by the Houston Texans. He has averaged 9.4 yards on
punt returns and 26.9 yards on kicks in his career but has found
it difficult to find playing time at wide receiver.
