Raiders Who Have Gone to the Super Bowl: Brandon Bolden

Of the Las Vegas Raiders that have been discussed so far in this series, running back Brandon Bolden was the one to have had the least impact in his trips to the Super Bowl.

He did however, go to the most, having been a part of Super Bowl XLIX, Super Bowl LI, and Super Bowl LII.

Bolden signed with the New England Patriots in 2012, where he played for eight seasons.

In the Patriots' title run in 2014-15, Bolden took the field for merely 15 offensive snaps, primarily serving a role on special teams.

His seven rushing yards in that postseason came only in New England's Divisional Round game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Two years later, when the Patriots won Super Bowl LI over the Atlanta Falcons, Bolden didn't play a single snap of offense in New England's three playoff games, seeing the field only for special teams.

In fact, the running back was given just one rushing attempt that entire regular season.

The following year, Bolden would turn in a decent performance in the Divisional Round against the Tennessee Titans. He registered 27 rushing yards and a touchdown in the win, his best playoff outing to date.

Bolden did not play a down of offense in the AFC Championship game, however.

He then went in for just one offensive snap in Super Bowl LII when the Patriots were bested by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bolden played one more season in New England before being released just before the 2018-19 season. He signed with the Miami Dolphins, where he played just one season before returning to New England for two more seasons.

In total, Bolden posted 1,206 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, along with 889 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns as a Patriot.

The veteran was signed by the Raiders last season. He would rush for just 66 yards to go along with 57 receiving yards in his first campaign with the club.

While Bolden wasn't much of a contributor in the Super Bowls he participated in, there's something to be said about championship experience.
