Cole Holcomb was drafted in the fifth round last year and went on to earn his spot as Washington's starting linebacker, working his way into a pivotal role on the defense. Going into year two, Holcomb is expected to keep that role, now alongside veteran Thomas Davis and Jon Bostic, and the feeling is that he will be an important part of the defense. (USA Today)
