Valentine Holmes continues to improve on his quest to make it in the NFL with the New York Jets.

Holmes finished with a team-high 5 catches for 55 yards including a nice 27-yard completion on a Davis Webb pass.

Former South Sydney junior – the hulking Jordan Mailata – did not play for the Eagles due to a back injury.

It’s expected Holmes will spend the season learning his craft as an ‘international’ bonus pick on the roster. A special program backed by the NFL.

Nice catch from Valentine Holmes. Dude is super athletic, just needs more experience in the game. He could be a guy to watch in 2020 after a year on the practice squad #Jets
