The Patriots are "close" to signing running back Brandon Bolden, an undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss. The report comes from WEEI's Chris Price, whose source says "there's a very good choice" New England will pick up Bolden.
At 5-10, 222, Bolden is described by Pro Football Weekly as a "solidly built, competitive, upright back." He had 2,604 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns in four seasons with Mississippi.
