Brandon Bolden’s decision to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders was shaped by family.
That could be seen as the former New England Patriots running back arrived at his introductory press conference in a black and silver No. 85 jersey, the same digits that his grandfather, Frank Pitts, wore during the 1974 season. But it could also be seen on the staff entering the 2022 season.
New Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels had been Bolden’s offensive coordinator for 90 percent of his NFL career.
“I love Josh,” Bolden told reporters Thursday from the Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center.
