Widely perceived as an early Day 2 prospect and one of the top defensive backs in this year’s draft, Holland confirmed to Windy City Gridiron on Monday that he has had conversations with the Bears in his pre-draft process.
Holland opted out of the 2020 season, but his tape from his previous two seasons speaks for itself. He finished with 9 interceptions and 10 pass deflections in his two years with the Ducks, solidifying himself as one of the best ball-hawks in the nation.
Born in Canada while his father played and coached in the Canadian Football League, Holland is one of a handful of prospects in the 2021 class to hail from the Great White North. As fellow Canadian-born stars like Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard and Minnesota cornerback Benjamin St-Juste also make the jump to the NFL this month, Holland takes great pride in representing his country.
“Being a Canadian in the NFL process, I feel pride to represent Canada,” Holland told Windy City Gridiron. “I feel pride to represent where I’m from, because I don’t really hear a lot of people coming from Coquitlam [Holland’s hometown] going to the NFL. I feel proud to be the one to rep the community. I’ve been training with Chuba down in Proactive [Sports Performance], so me and Chuba have had this conversation, but to be able to rep that type of country, in my eyes, it’s the closest thing I’m going to get to the Olympics, how people represent their country. I feel great pride in being that person, that spokesperson for the country.”
Holland is one of numerous Oregon prospects who had the chance to speak to the media in their post-Pro Day press conferences on Monday. Perhaps the most notable of the bunch is offensive tackle Penei Sewell, who is regarded by many as one of the top overall prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft.
