Jesse Holley to Cincinnati

Posted May 1, 2007

Former North Carolina wide receiver Jesse Holley signed a three-year rookie contract with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, just minutes after the final selection in the 2007 NFL Draft. “First I got a call from the St. Louis Rams, but I got a better offer from the Bengals so I jumped on that,” said Holley, a 6-3, 210-pound native of Roselle, N.J. “This means I’m in there and I’ve got my foot in the door,” Holley said.
