The Pro Football Hall of Fame finalist eventually got wind of the mistake and soon took to Twitter and called them out.

Holt reeled in a program-record 31 touchdown catches during his collegiate career with NC State from 1995-98. The consensus All-American was selected by the St. Louis Rams with a first-round pick in the 1999 NFL Draft.
As part of “The Greatest Show on Turf” offense, he helped the Rams to a Super Bowl XXXIV victory in his rookie season.
