It took a bit longer than expected, but Victor Bolden Jr. is now part of an NFL organization. Bolden was a phenomenal wide receiver for the Birmingham Stallions this season, and now signs a one year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
Cardinals signed USFL standout WR and championship-game MVP Victor Bolden Jr. to a one-year contract.

In 2022, Bolden was outstanding. He led the USFL in all purpose yards for most of the season, and was a consistent target for both J’Mar Smith and Alex McGough.

Bolden finished the year with 415 receiving yards, and a touchdown. On top of that, he added almost 800 kick/punt return yards to his resume, posting over 1,200 all purpose yards on the season. His kick return for a touchdown in the semi-finals against New Orleans was a key turning point in that game.

Not to mention – Bolden is a USFL champion. He was a major reason why the Stallions won the inaugural Championship. In fact, he won Championship MVP against Philadelphia on July 3rd.

Clearly, Victor was one of the USFL’s elite athletes, providing Skip Holtz’ offense with dynamic assets. Now, the talented receiver has the ability to pursue his NFL dreams, due to his exceptional performances in the USFL.
