Rodney Alan Holman (born April 20, 1960) is an American former professional football player who was a tight end for the Cincinnati Bengals (1982–1992), and the Detroit Lions (1993–1995) of the National Football League (NFL).

Biography

[edit]

Holman was born in Ypsilanti, Michigan and graduated from Ypsilanti High School in 1978 where he starred on the football team and was an all-state wrestler.[1] Before his NFL career, Holman played college football at Tulane University.[2] Holman started all four of his seasons at Tulane, setting school records for receptions (135) and receiving yards (1,512) by a tight end. His 47 receptions in 1979 set a single season school record for catching by a tight end as well. In his four seasons on the team, The Green Wave posted a 26–20 record, and made it to consecutive Bowl games for the first time ever. Future NFL kicker Eddie Murray was also a member of the team around that time.[3]

He was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 1982 NFL draft.[4] A 3-time Pro Bowl selection from 1988 to 1990,[5] Holman's superb blocking and pass catching abilities were a great asset to his team, and helped lead the Bengals to an AFC Championship and appearance in Super Bowl XXIII.[6]

By the time he retired in 1996, Holman had played in 213 games, the second most games played by a tight end in NFL history behind Pete Metzelaars (234). In his 14 seasons, Holman amassed 365 receptions for 4,771 yards and 36 touchdowns.[7] As of 2005, Holman's 318 receptions with the Bengals are the most ever by a tight end in franchise history and ranks him as their 6th all-time leading receiver.

After his NFL career ended, Holman served as an assistant coach for the New Orleans Saints from 1998 to 1999.[8]
