The only player on your roster you want to hold is your punter. An offensive linemen? Ten yard penalty. Cornerback? Ten yard penalty. Do it enough and you’re bound to get cut.

Don’t hold effectively and you’ll get cut, not to mention your kicker isn’t going to send you a birthday gift.
Pressley Harvin III knows the importance of the job. Speaking to reporters yesterday, he said it’s as critical as anything he’ll do this summer.
