BIOGRAPHY: Part-time starter the past three years who totaled 124/505/7 on the ground as a senior and 9/80/1 as a pass catcher. Junior rushing totals included 88/456/7, with receiving totals of 14/121/1. Began his college career at Illinois.

POSITIVES: Bolen is a hard-working, intelligent football player who does the little things well. He's been a productive and skill player at Louisville, and he shows mentality and skills necessary to get the job done as a blocker.

NEGATIVES: Takes a while to get it going and lacks the great quickness. Does not possess the speed to turn the corner. Must learn to become a blocker at the next level.

ANALYSIS: Nice-sized, smash-mouth college ball carrier best suited as a fullback in a West Coast offense at the next level. Runs hard, takes it north/south, and aggressively puts his shoulders into defenders, delivering a blow on contact. Displays himself as a capable offensive threat carrying the ball, finding the running lanes, and consistently picking up yardage. Drives through contact, breaks tackles, and falls forward for the extra yardage. Shows a burst of speed. Effectively follows blocks, finds the cutback lanes, and slides through them. Solid receiver who effectively adjusts to the errant throw and catches the ball with his hands.

PROJECTION: 6-7
