    With the 185th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Cowboys select South Carolina LB DeVonte Holloman. Devonte is a big, physical safety that crashes the line of scrimmage. His thick frame allows him to take on blockers and then shed and make the tackle on the ball carrier. He uses his hands well to separate and jam receivers on the rare occasion he is manned up. He uses proper leverage to maintain position and then attack down hill. He can deliver the big hit that seperates ball carriers or receivers from the ball. Has the versatility to play all three downs and match up against TEs and backs.

    Hes basically Durrant. I really. Don't see him able to cover TEs and HBs one on one, but should do fine in zone

    Very good run defender
