Brandon Bolden always finds a way to contribute for the New England Patriots. Despite rarely being used as the primary runner, Bolden is usually good for multiple positive plays per game. That trend continues in 2021.
Bolden's continued success in the NFL wasn't a guarantee. Bolden revealed Thursday he was diagnosed with cancer in 2018, and thought he would never play in the NFL again. Bolden said he was diagnosed with epidermoid carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. Bolden had surgery, and temporarily lost function on the right side of his face.
Bolden — who is now cancer-free — realized his face fully recovered, and was inspired to post images of his cancer treatment and recovery on Instagram.
