With the news of the potential relationship between the CFL and the XFL, it comes as no surprise that the CFL is still gearing up for its upcoming season. There’s still a lot of great talent that played in the XFL last year looking to land a spot on a roster. Today, we’re learning that former Houston Roughnecks wide receiver Nick Holley has been signed by the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL.
Holley signed with the National Football League’s Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and attended training camp. In 2020, had 21 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns during the XFL’s shortened season. Later in the year, Holley played for the Conquerors in The Spring League.

For his career, he threw for 974 yards and six touchdowns, rushed for 1,776 yards and 14 scores and caught 47 passes for 380 yards and five majors. Holley was a member of the academic all-Mid-American Conference team in 2014 and 2016.
