LSU’s cheat-code speed, special-teams spark
Holliday was never a volume back, but in the 2006-2009 seasons at LSU he was a game-breaking weapon because of elite speed, electric return ability, and true big-play juice: he finished with 776 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, and 2,453 career return yards, including four return TDs. He’s the kind of player who changes field position in one snap and tilts special teams every week. The catch? At 5-foot-5-ish and under 170 pounds, he was built more for space than between-the-tackles punishment, so he fits best as a niche, high-impact playmaker rather than a load-bearing RB.
