Before his NFL career, Holman played football at Tulane University. He was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 1982 NFL Draft. A 3-time Pro Bowl selection from 1988 to 1990, Holman's superb blocking and pass catching abilities were a great asset to his team, and assisted the Bengals to an NFL championship appearance in Super Bowl XXIII.

In his 14 seasons, Holman amassed 365 receptions for 4,771 yards and 36 touchdowns. As of 2005, Holman's 318 receptions with the Bengals are the most ever by a tight end in franchise history and ranks him as their 6th all time leading receiver.

After his NFL career ended, Holman served as an assistand coach for the New Orleans Saints from 1998 to 1999. He is now retired and living in Slidell, Louisiana.
