Alabama standout slot receiver Slade Bolden is heading to the league.
Bolden, a three-year receiver for the Crimson Tide, did not hear his name called during the 2022 NFL Draft. But he’s still getting an opportunity.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound slot announced on Twitter tonight that he’s signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Baltimore Ravens.
God is Good!! I will be a Baltimore Raven! Can’t wait to be a part of this great organization. Big Trussss!! 💜

“God is Good!! I will be a Baltimore Raven! Can’t wait to be a part of this great organization. Big Trussss!!” he said.
In three years at Alabama, Bolden caught 68 passes for 712 yards and four touchdowns. He was often overshadowed by some of college football’s top wideouts like Devonta Smith and Jameson Williams; but he still has massive upside, especially at the NFL level.
Prior to the start of the 2022 NFL Draft, there had been rumors teams like the Chiefs or Patriots would take a chance on the Alabama product with a late-round pick. It never came to fruition.
That won’t prevent Bolden from getting his opportunity. He’ll join the Ravens for their offseason program, training camp, and hopefully beyond.
