New England Patriots
Bolden was selected by the New England Patriots in the seventh round with the 245th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.[5] On May 13, 2023, Bolden signed his rookie deal with the Patriots. The deal was reportedly a four-year, $3,921,684 deal.[6]
During the Patriots-Packers Week 2 preseason game, Bolden suffered an injury after colliding with teammate Calvin Munson after trying to tackle Packers player Malik Heath, which left him temporarily immobilized. The New England Patriots released a statement that says Bolden "had feeling in all his extremities, but has been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation." The game was later suspended, and Bolden was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. This was the first game to be suspended since the prior season's Buffalo Bills–Cincinnati Bengals Week 17 game after Damar Hamlin's in-game collapse. The Patriots published a statement the next day reporting that he had been released from the hospital. He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on August 29, 2023.[7]
Bolden was waived by the Patriots on August 28, 2024, and re-signed to the practice squad.[8][9] On September 28, he was promoted to the active roster.[10]
On August 22, 2025, Bolden was released by the Patriots.[11]
