Raiders reportedly sign KR Holliday

The Oakland Raiders reportedly signed diminutive return specialist Trindon Holliday on Wednesday.

Holliday, 29, is expected to challenge rookie Andre Debose for the job as the Raiders’ top kick returner.

Holliday scored four touchdowns on runbacks for the Denver Broncos in 2012 and 2013 and became the first player in NFL history to score on a punt return and kick return in a playoff game when he did it against the Baltimore Ravens in January 2013.

The Broncos let him go last year and injuries largely prevented him from contributing in very brief stints with New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.

Holliday, who is 5 feet 5, was drafted in the sixth round out of LSU in 2010 by the Houston Texans. He has averaged 9.4 yards on punt returns and 26.9 yards on kicks in his career but has found it difficult to find playing time at wide receiver.
