Professional career
Prior to the combine, Holden played guard at the East–West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl. Holden has an impressive week of practices leading up to the shrine game and was identified by NFL analyst as one of the players who raised his draft stock.

New England Patriot's head coach Bill Belichick and representatives from 28 NFL teams attended Vanderbilt's Pro Day to scout Holden, Zach Cunningham, and nine other players. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, he was projected to be a third or fourth round draft pick from the majority of scouts and analysts.
