Cole Holcomb 'ready to take control' of Washington Commanders defense

Posted May 17, 2022
There's a lot of excitement about Cole Holcomb, who the Washington Commanders drafted with a fifth-round pick in 2019 out of UNC. He's been a starter throughout his NFL career, but last year's performance has the Commanders' coaches convinced he can be their middle linebacker. Holcomb agrees, and he's ready to take another step forward in 2022. (Washington Commanders)
