Anquan Boldin

A 14-year veteran of the NFL, Anquan Boldin is more than just a football player, he is also a social advocate, philanthropist and humanitarian.

He played for the Arizona Cardinals (2003-2009), Baltimore Ravens (2010-2012), San Francisco 49ers (2013-2015) and Detroit Lions (2016-2017). He was the 2003 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, was selected for three Pro Bowls and won Super Bowl XLVII with the Baltimore Ravens. In 2015, he was given the NFL’s most prestigious honor by being named the Walter Payton Man of the Year for his community service work.

The Anquan Boldin Foundation was formed in 2004 by BOLDIN with a mission to expand the educational and life opportunities of underprivileged youth. The Foundation offers various programs throughout the year that benefit the youth and community. His 2017 retirement from the NFL came from a decision to focus efforts on humanitarian work, fighting for social justice and racial equality. He serves as the co-founder for the Players Coalition. Players Coalition is an independent, player-driven non-profit organization that exists to end social injustices and racial inequality so future generations have the opportunity to thrive without barriers. The mission is to achieve social and racial equality using Players Coalition influence and support to impact systemic social and civic change in the areas of Police & Community Relations, Criminal Justice Reform and Education & Economic Advancement in low-income communities.
