“I didn’t give the show much thought at first,” Jesse Holley Holley said in an interview. “But it was a chance and the more I thought about it…”
Holley is listed as 6-3, 215 pounds with 4.5-second speed in the 40-yard dash.
“Jesse Holley, the Cowboys can use you,” declared Irvin, who made the final call under the watchful eyes of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as well as Bill Bates and Joe Avezzano, who helped with the show.
“This is truly, truly a blessing,” Holley said. “I have been given a wonderful opportunity to resurrect part of my life I thought was over. I am really going to take advantage of it.”
