  Bengals | Cincy adds nine to offseason roster    Tue Feb 15, 01:46 PM

Cincinnati Bengals CB John Brannon, QB Jake Browning, C Lamont Gaillard, S Trayvon Henderson, RB Elijah Holyfield, TE Thaddeus Moss, DE Noah Spence, TE Scotty Washington and WR Pooka Williams signed Reserve/Futures contracts with the team Tuesday, Feb. 15.

Footballguys view: In crazy deep dynasty formats, we'll keep an eye on former RB Pooka Williams. He's small but fast and has great foot speed. Now working as a wide receiver, Williams has some intrigue because of his natural athleticism.

  Panthers | Elijah Holyfield, Kevon Seymour cut    Sun Sep 1, 04:02 PM

Carolina Panthers RB Elijah Holyfield and CB Kevon Seymour were waived Sunday, Sept. 1.

Footballguys view: Holyfield couldn't survive the second round of cutdown weekend action even though he outlasted Cameron Artis-Payne. He should end up on a practice squad after poor testing numbers knocked him out of the draft.

  Panthers | Carolina to give Christian McCaffrey help?    Mon Jul 15, 02:48 AM

Carolina Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey might see a little more help in the backfield, as head coach Ron Rivera searches for a secondary runner. '(McCaffrey) him touching the ball was no concern,' Rivera said. 'It was just the extra plays. So we have to look at that and find a way to take that load from him.'

Footballguys view: McCaffrey should touch the ball as much as possible, but a breather from time-to-time would be nice. The team re-signed RBs Cameron Artis-Payne and Elijah Hood, they drafted RB Jordan Scarlett, signed Elijah Holyfield as an undrafted free agent and have RB Reggie Bonnafon in the mix as well. We'll watch this backup running back situation shake out in training camp.

Financial terms of the deals were undisclosed. Carolina also officially signed undrafted free-agent S Corrion Ballard, RB Elijah Holyfield, WR Damion Jeanpiere Jr. and LB Jordan Kunaszyk to undisclosed contracts.

  Panthers | Carolina adds four UDFAs    Mon Apr 29, 02:18 PM

Undrafted free-agent RB Elijah Holyfield (Georgia), S Corrion Ballard (Utah), WR Damion Jeanpiere Jr. (Nichols State) and LB Jordan Kunaszyk (California) agreed to terms on undisclosed contracts with the Carolina Panthers on Monday, April 29.

Footballguys view: Holyfield, son of boxing champion Evander Holyfield, had to wait his turn at Georgia. He was behind guys like Sony Michel and Nick Chubb until the 2018 season when he finally got an opportunity to start. He started nine games for the Bulldogs, rushing for 1,018 yards on 159 carries. Holyfield is a power player with little nuance to his rushing style. We'll monitor him but only in crazy deep dynasty formats.

  Falcons | Atlanta hosts Elijah Holyfield    Fri Apr 5, 10:29 PM

Georgia RB Elijah Holyfield visited with the Atlanta Falcons Friday, April 5.

Footballguys view: Holyfield is the son of boxing champion Evander Holyfield. He waited patiently behind guys like Nick Chubb and Sony Michel during his college career at Georgia. Holyfield reminds some in the scouting community of Mark Ingram (Ravens) because of his no-nonsense style when running the rock. He's not flashy, but Holyfield should be able to work as part of a RBBC at the pro level. Holyfield should be a late-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
