Trindon Jerard Holliday (born April 27, 1986) is an American former professional football wide receiver and return specialist.

[1] He was also a member of the Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, and Oakland Raiders.

[4] Holliday was a top-ranked American sprinter competing for the LSU Tigers track and field team and is regarded as one of the fastest players in football.

[5] This qualified him for the 2007 World Championships in Athletics but he opted to not compete, preferring to begin the football season with the LSU Tigers.

[6] He continued to race, however, and reached the semi-finals in the 100 m at the 2008 United States Olympic Trials the following year.

[7] In his first year at LSU in 2007, he broke Xavier Carter's school record and became the Southeastern Conference 100 m champion.

At the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship later that year he set a personal record in the semifinals and finished runner-up in the final to Walter Dix.

[6][8] Track and Field News has Holliday recorded at 6.19 over 55 meters indoors in 2005, leading the nation.

[9] At some point after leaving the NFL in 2015, Holliday returned to LSU to complete his college degree.

[11] Leading up to the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine, Holliday had hoped to break Chris Johnson's record mark of 4.24 in the 40-yard dash.

[16] However, the NFL Network broadcast team record Holliday's two tries at unofficial times of 4.27 and 4.32,[17] respectively, and ultimately published it as 4.34 seconds officially.

Following the 2012 preseason, Holliday made the Houston Texans 53-man roster and was the starting punt and kick returner.

He returned a kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals on November 4, 2012, breaking the Broncos record for the longest play.

In his senior year he accumulated over 2,000 yards and over 30 touchdowns, leading Northeast High to back-to-back State Semi-Final appearances.

[citation needed] Despite his speed records, several schools, including Duke and Louisiana-Lafayette, rejected Holliday due to his small size.

After initial workouts, Holliday ran the 40 in 4.28 seconds wearing high top basketball shoes.
