Scouting Report: Strengths
- His competitiveness and knack for high-pointing the ball allow him to play bigger than his size.
- Solid receiver in the flat, capable of running through tackles on the edge to move the chains. Flexible enough to catch passes thrown behind him.
- Difficult to bring down one-on-one in space, regularly sidesteps would-be tacklers and uses offhand to use oncoming defenders' momentum against them without slowing down significantly.
- Doesn't possess elite breakaway speed, but is fast enough to gain yardage in chunks when Holani finds a seam.
- Has good burst to and through the hole. A patient runner with good vision and burst for the cutback. Squares his shoulders and can knock the defender back onto his heels. Good leg drive and forward lean to gain extra yardage after contact.
- Holani does a nice job with recognition as a pass protector and gives good effort.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Holani doesn’t offer a ton of wiggle, and in college, Holani often sought out contact rather than avoiding it.
- Holani has constantly ran a limited route tree.
- Too indecisive and hesitant at the line of scrimmage.
