Profile

Summary:The NFL Scouting Combine provided Bolles an opportunity to showcase his athleticism and explain how much he's matured since his troubled teenage years complicated by his mother's issues with substance abuse. Bolles played multiple positions in high school and took a couple of years away from the game. He also played lacrosse in high school, eventually benefitting when his former coach's family took him **under its wing**, Mike Sorensen of the *Deseret News *reported. Bolles went on a Mormon Mission and hit a growth spurt, eventually enrolling at Snow College. He will turn 25 in May, is already married, and the couple recently celebrated the birth of their first child.

Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock rated Bolles as the second-best tackle prospect, and Bucky Brooks tabbed him at fourth in pre-combine rankings. Counterpart Daniel Jeremiah has Bolles ranked 28th overall among all draft-eligible players. Jeremiah wrote Bolles has "good football awareness considering his limited experience" and complemented his "tenacity."

In his words:"When I'm on the field, I want to put people in the dirt. And that's what I'm here for. As an offensive lineman, you want to be the [nastiest] that you can be. And whoever's in front of me, I want to drive them and put them in the dirt. So I'm just going to try to be that every single day. And when I come off the field, I love my family. I just learned how to turn the switch to go back to the new Garett."
