Saturday night’s game between the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings provided plenty of SEC-related highlights, and former Auburn DE Jeff Holland turned in one, too.
Holland, who surprisingly went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft, recorded his first NFL sack in his first career game.
As you can see in the video below, Holland used his elite speed off the edge to reach the Vikings’ quarterback and bring him down:

Holland recorded 9.5 sacks last season, so he clearly knows what he’s doing when he’s going after the quarterback.
If he continues his strong performance this preseason, he should crack the Broncos’ 53-man roster. He has all the skills to be a solid contributor, so it’ll be interesting to see if he finds his role with the Broncos.
