The former Alabama wide receiver signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens despite not being picked after the first seven rounds of the NFL Draft. Bolden, a native of Louisiana, tweeted the news on Saturday.
The 193-pounder and he and his old colleague, Jalyn Armour-Davis have reunited. Marlon Humphrey, a former Alabama cornerback, is also included. For the Crimson Tide in 2021, Bolden caught 42 passes, resulting in 408 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Bolden doesn’t have lightning speed, but he has great hands, solid route running skills, and versatility on special teams.
Bolden achieved success at Alabama by winning three Southeastern Conference championships and the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship (2018, 2020, 2021). Bolden was a three-star when he first arrived at college in 2018, but he quickly improved.
The Ravens’ head coach, John Harbaugh, acquired a dedicated, competitive player. Bolden aims to disprove the wrongdoing of the clubs who passed on him during the draft. Alabama supporters are eager to watch him in rookie minicamp and throughout the entire process in Baltimore.
