Welcome to our first ever Friday edition of Alabama Morning Drive here at Roll Tide Wire. Hopefully, we can help get your weekend started off on the right note with the latest and greatest surrounding the Alabama Crimson Tide. Today we will look at Slade Bolden’s NFL combine performance, the Alabama football team’s spring practice schedule, and the updated roster.
Slade Bolden competes in 2022 NFL combine
Former Alabama wide receiver Slade Bolden worked out for NFL teams at the 2022 NFL combine on Thursday afternoon. The Louisiana native posted an official 40-time of 4.66 with a 32″ vertical jump and 116″ broad jump.
The most logical landing spot for Bolden would be a reunion with Mac Jones in New England as a late-round selection.
Jameson Williams and John Metchie participated in the weigh-ins but were not healthy enough to compete in the on-the-field activities.
Alabama football releases spring practice schedule
The 2021 season obviously did not end the way Alabama wanted it to with a loss in the national championship game. The 2022 team will now have an opportunity to start their revenge tour sooner rather than later.
On Thursday, the football team released its 2022 spring practice schedule and the team will hit the field starting on Friday, March 11. After just a singular practice, the team will receive 10 days off for spring break, before resuming on Monday, March 21.
Below is the complete practice schedule.

Friday, March 25
Saturday, March 26
Tuesday, March 29
