About Anquan Boldin

Anquan Kenmile Boldin is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver for 14 seasons in the National Football League (NFL).

Boldin was the 2003 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, was selected to three Pro Bowls and won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens.
