When the Miami Dolphins selected Oregon safety in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft, they knew they were getting a good player who was slipping due to his decision to opt out of his final year during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Holland’s performance as a rookie was everything the Dolphins could’ve asked for and more. He finished the year playing in 16 games, recording 69 tackles, 10 passes defended, three fumbles recovered, 2.5 sacks, two fumbles forced and two interceptions.
Pro Football Focus even graded him as the fourth-best safety in the NFL last season.
