About Robert Holcombe

Born 1975. Robert Holcombe is an American american football player.

Robert Wayne Holcombe (born December 11, 1975) is an American former professional football player who was a fullback for the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL).

NFL career

St. Louis Rams Holcombe was drafted 37th overall in the second round of the 1998 NFL draft by the St. Louis Rams. He started at fullback for the 1999 Super Bowl Championship team. Holcombe’s role with the Rams diminished with the emergence of undrafted James Hodgins into the starting fullback role. Holcombe played four seasons for the Rams alongside of NFL MVP, Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner and NFL MVP Marshall Faulk.

Tennessee Titans Holcombe went to the Tennessee Titans after the 2001 season. He played both halfback and fullback for three seasons in the backfield with NFL MVP Steve McNair and Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George. After the 2004 season the Titans released Holcombe along with Derrick Mason, Samari Rolle, and the departure of Steve McNair.

The Chiefs quickly signed him but he was placed on IR (injured reserve) after suffering a preseason knee injury before the 2005 season begun.
