Gabe Holmes is a curious case at tight end due to the consistent praise from the coaching staff (mostly from Danny Hope) but limited production on the field. He will get a chance to showcase his skills for the Oakland Raiders during their rookie mini-camp later this month. Coach Hope will not be in attendance to boast about his potential. Gabe will have to prove himself alone.
Holmes started out 2013 with great promise, catching 9 passes in his first two games before being sidelined for the season with a wrist injury. He had caught 23 passes with 3 touchdowns in the two seasons prior.
