2025 Projections
Signed a contract with the Vikings in May of 2025.
To catch on with Minnesota
Bolden is slated to sign with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.
ANALYSIS
Bolden transferred to Texas in 2024 after spending the first three years of his college career with Oregon State. He didn't have much of a role in the Longhorns' offense but did show flashes of his playmaking ability as a punt returner, finishing the 2024 season with 315 punt return yards and a touchdown on 30 attempts. Bolden could earn a spot on the Vikings' 53-man roster as a return specialist if he has a strong performance in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could earn spot on special teams
Alex Lewis of The Athletic believes Bolden could be Minnesota's most dynamic return man in years.
ANALYSIS
Bolden will need to shine in training camp and preseason to earn a spot on Minnesota's 53-man roster, but the rookie undrafted free agent's contributions in the return game could earn him that spot. The Vikings aggressively pursued Bolden after he went undrafted out of Texas following a 2024 college season in which he had 315 yards and one touchdown on 30 punt returns. Bolden's competition for the primary punt returner role includes fellow undrafted free-agent signee Myles Price as well as veteran wide receiver Jalen Nailor.
