Jesse Holley at ease fighting for job

Posted Jul 30, 2009
Jesse Holley caught a pass on a square out at about the 30-yard line, did the toe tap to make sure his feet were inbounds and sped down the sideline. The long, braided hair that flowed from his helmet fluttered as he ran. In many ways, Holley looked like just another seasoned veteran. “I've been doing this since I was a little boy,” he said. Perhaps, but certainly not on this stage, for this team, under these circumstances. (San Antonio Express-News)
