New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden had the most successful season of his NFL career, maintaining the high standards he’s set for himself as a special teams player while also contributing on offense more often as a ball-carrier and pass-catcher.
He did all that in a season where he revealed he beat cancer in 2018, a process that was no doubt challenging mentally. Perhaps that’s why he released an emotional statement in January.
“This was a really special team with extremely special people. I appreciate every man that stepped foot in that locker room. You guys really made an old guy feel kinda young. To see what I’ve seen and been through all that I have, i appreciate all of you and extremely proud to not only call y’all my teammates but my fam. Love y’all boys and I wish nothing but the best to all of you,” Bolden said on Thursday.
