Cole Holcomb's NFL road isn't finished

Posted Oct 29, 2025
For Cole Holcomb, the 2023 season was a new beginning. The only problem was, it ended before he had the chance to enjoy it. But that is now in the past and Holcomb has another fresh start, one that he earned through hard work and determination. That is why his teammates voted him the Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award. (Pittsburgh Steelers)
