There seems to be a chance that New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones and one of his former weapons in Tuscaloosa, wide receiver Slade Bolden, could reunite in Foxborough.

According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, the former Alabama Crimson Tide wideout is set to have a date with the Patriots, as Bolden continues to look for a roster spot in the NFL.

“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.”

Mac Jones and Slade Bolden played for two seasons together in college with Alabama. Jones arrived in Tuscaloosa first in 2018 and played for the Crimson Tide until the 2020 season. Bolden, on the other hand, wore Alabama colors from 2019 to 2021. He declared for the NFL Draft but went undrafted in 2022. He would later be signed by the Baltimore Ravens in May 2022 before being released by the team in October of the same year.

I wish him well! I believe he can make it in the NFL if he gets with the right team. Hopefully, the Patriots are that team.

If he gets open and catches the ball, he's not going far. You have spent a lot of energy getting him the ball with minimal affect on the game. If you need such a player and no one else is available, sure why not....

I’m just waiting for OldPlayer to jump in this thread and post a GIF of Bolden fair catching a punt and then violently slapping the ball like he got tackled by his shoestrings on the way to taking one to the house.

I couldn’t find a GIF, but you described it very well.
