Washington Commanders linebacker Cole Holcomb was a bit of an ironman over the past two seasons. In 2021, Holcomb played 99% of Washington’s defensive snaps, setting a new career high with 142 tackles.
Holcomb was poised for an even larger role in 2022. Instead of spending another high draft choice on a linebacker, or spending big in free agency, head coach Ron Rivera and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio were counting on Holcomb to take over inside and Jamin Davis to make a big leap.
