Holmes discusses his time as an Enterprise Car Rental employee, his work as a media relations intern with the Atlanta Hawks, and the many mentors who urged him to keep going. He also takes us through the first round pick selections of Jahmyr Gibbs (spelling check) and Jack Campbell, and why Mock Drafts don’t mean as much as we make them out to.
