2003-2007 Because of a knee surgery when he was at Georgia Tech, Hollings went nearly a year between games, but he regained durability throughout his 2003 rookie season with the Houston Texans and showed promise. On September 21 against the Kansas City Chiefs, in his first non-special teams action, he rushed for 41 yards on 7 carries. He spent 2003-2005 with the Texans. He made his only career start in a game late in the 2003 season. Ex-coach Dom Capers said Hollings gave the team “some speed and burst.” He played 2007 season with the New York Jets. Hollings was given the nickname "Superman" during his college career because of the way he "flew" over defensive opponents.
