The Facts:
Ohio State's academic schedule will require Holmes to miss three valuable weeks of NFL indoctrination, forcing him to play catch-up when training camp starts in late July. "I'll probably just train back in Columbus with a bunch of my teammates before they leave," Holmes said Monday. "I'll get ready from there."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Because of an NFL-NCAA agreement, a college player cannot take part in NFL spring workouts until his college has had its graduation. Because many schools hold graduation in early May, most NFL draft picks are not affected. But Holmes can't begin practicing until after the OSU's mid-June graduation. By then, the Steelers will have finished the 14 days of coaching sessions that follow their May 13-15 mini-camp, which Holmes is permitted to attend.
