In Dallas, Holden reunites with wide receivers coach Junior Adams, who was his position coach at Oregon.

"I'm very excited. [Adams] told me if he got a chance to come get me, he was coming to get me," Holden said, via DallasCowboys.com. "He knows he got a dawg, and I'm ready to make it happen.

"Me and his relationship is more than player-coach. I call him if I just need to talk to somebody, and we've got a really good relationship. It's good that we have it in the pros for sure."

In his final year at Oregon, Holden hauled in 45 catches for 718 yards and five touchdowns. Throughout his college career, which began at Alabama, Holden amassed 128 catches for 1,740 yards, and 18 scores.
