When he was 13, Holmes spent a summer in Detroit, Michigan, working for his grandfather's lawn care service. Holmes was raised in a military household as his stepfather was an aircraft technician at Kelly Air Force Base for 20 years. He was raised in San Antonio, Texas by his mother Norma, and stepfather Herman Morris. Although he carries the last name of his biological father, he never met the man, only seeing him for the first time at his funeral. He was inducted into the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame in 2014. He was inducted into the University of Texas Hall of Honor and the Texas High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2007. Holmes played college football for the University of Texas at Austin. Holmes sat out the 2006 season with a neck injury, and after a brief comeback attempt in 2007 retired from the NFL. He rushed for just over 2,000 yards in four seasons in Baltimore.
