After a process that included interviewing him and 11 others for the vacancy, Holmes won the Lions over and landed a job he didn’t dream of when his NFL career began as a public relations intern in 2003. ”He stood out to us as the perfect fit,” team owner Sheila Ford Hamp said on a Zoom call with reporters on Tuesday, days after the team agreed to a deal with Holmes.

Bradley McDougald is angry. The New York Jets safety is also extremely worried. Within the confines of the team’s facility, McDougald is a respected pro football player whose main concern is stopping the offense.
