He has had a few tryouts for teams in the National Football League, but he is still trying to land an opportunity.

Slade Bolden, a former Alabama wide receiver, worked out Tuesday for the Atlanta Falcons. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the news. Bolden has tried out for the Patriots and the Colts after getting cut by the Baltimore Ravens.

Bolden, a former three-star in the 2018 recruiting class, helped the Crimson Tide to a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2020 and two Southeastern Conference Championships in 2020 and 2021.
