What they're saying about Bolden:

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein: "If you're wondering where Bolden gets his speed, just ask his mother; she holds school records for the 100- and 200-meter hurdles at Mt. San Antonio College. Bolden was a hurdler and football star in high school, allowing him to become the Beavers' kick returner (58-1,198, TD) and start twice at receiver (6-62). He started 11 games as a sophomore, leading the team with 72 catches for 798 yards, scoring twice, and contributed as a rusher (19-118) and punt returner (4-44). Bolden also ran the 60 meters for the Beavers' track team in 2014. He was an honorable mention all-Pac-12 pick in 2015, leading the team again in receptions (46-461, three TD) and was a factor in the rushing (36-185) and return games (23-580, one TD on kickoffs; 1-78, TD on punts). Bolden was the Beavers' top offensive and special teams threat in 2016, as well (46-542, two TD receiving; 28-329, two TD rushing; 14-64 punt returns; 27-642, TD kick returns)."
