Back in 2009, Jesse Holley won Michael Irvin's reality show, 4th and Long, That got Holley an invite to the Cowboys training camp. Holley made the team as a special teams player and backup, backup wide receiver.
Against the 49ers on Sunday, Holley, in for a banged up Miles Austin, caught his first three NFL passes. One of those catches was a 77 yarder in overtime that set up the game-winning field goal.
Here's Irvin on Holley:
"When Jesse caught this ball (77-yard reception in overtime), I said to myself, 'I'm sitting in my office at the NFL Network and I'm still winning games for the Dallas Cowboys.'"
"(When Holley) earned this spot. I told Jerry [Jones] don't make it easy on him; make it hard on him. Jerry has called me numerous times talking about how hard this kid works and he was exactly the right kid. It really is a blessing from God."
