Jacob Hollister Falls Two Inches Short
5 years agoSeattle Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister was traded to Seattle by New England for a seventh-round draft pick this past April. Eight months later, he missed being the city's hero by two inches. Hollister was dialed up for a short slant across the middle in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter of Sunday night's game, and he came tantalizingly close to crossing the plane of the goal line. Unfortunately, the vicious helmet-to-helmet shot he took at the one-yard line slowed him just enough so that he hit the turf a split-second before the ball reached the line. Hollister has shown that he's capable of being a solid starting tight end, and the coaches have shown that Philadelphia better account for him next week.
