Former Alabama WR Slade Bolden set to work out for New England Patriots
Former Alabama wide receiver Slade Bolden is scheduled to work out for the New England Patriots, according to Patriots reporter Mike Reiss. Bolden was a part of Alabama’s offense in 2022 under Bill O’Brien, who is now the offensive coordinator in Foxborough.
Bolden played wide receiver at Alabama from 2017-2021. During his Alabama career, Bolden had 68 receptions for 712 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
After the 2021 season, Bolden was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens. A sports hernia prevented him from participating in the team’s training camp and subsequently led to him being released.
This will be the second opportunity that Bolden has gotten since departing the Ravens. The Kansas City Chiefs also held a workout for Bolden during their playoff stretch.
While much of the NFL's attention is focused in Indianapolis at the combine, a note back home: Free-agent WR Slade Bolden is scheduled to work out for the Patriots.
Played at Alabama with Mac Jones, and then under Bill O'Brien. 2022 UDFA with Ravens. Healthy after sports hernia.
