Alabama WR Slade Bolden looks explosive in offseason workout video

Alabama football has a young wide receiver room, but this is an important year for Slade Bolden.

He is now in his fourth season and must emerge as a reliable playmaker for Bryce Young.

The Louisiana native came in highly talented in 2018, especially after winning the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state in 2017. Bolden’s versatility has allowed him to be compared to former NFL receiver Julian Edelman, but it is time for him to become a complete player. He recorded some good moments last year and finished with 24 catches for 270 yards with one touchdown.
