About Anqua Boldin:
Anquan Kenmile Boldin Sr. (born October 3, 1980) is an American former professional football wide receiver who played in the National Football League (NFL) for fourteen seasons. He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles and was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the 2003 NFL draft. He also played for the Baltimore Ravens, the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions.
Boldin was the 2003 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, was selected to three Pro Bowls and won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens. In 2015, he was named the Walter Payton Man of the Year for his community service. Despite not being named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, Boldin is widely considered as one of the greatest wide receivers of his era.

inThe top 100 FSU football players: Wide receiver Anquan Boldinin -- A former Florida Mr. Football, Pahokee’s own made his name known in Tallahassee before a lengthy, successful NFL career
By Perry Kostidakis@perrykos Jul 8, 2019, 6:19pm EDT

Anquan Boldin, Florida’s Mr. Football in 1999, came to Tallahassee as one of the top-rated passers (and overall recruits) in the country following a senior season that saw him accumulate 2,842 yards and 36 touchdowns, along with 1,497 rushing yards, 20 rushing scores and four interceptions.
He had been promised by Bobby Bowden during his recruitment that he would be able to play quarterback, but after getting on campus and realizing his best chance at playing immediately would be by switching positions, he went to Bowden’s office and requested the change.
The move paid off: not in a huge way (with Boldin only catching 12 passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns in 1999 in addition to 55 kick return yards), but enough for the true freshman to get on the field in eight games for the eventual national champions.
In his sophomore season, Boldin began to find his groove, tripling his touchdown total and putting up two 100-yard games en route to a season total 660 yards, though he only registered 33 yards in the national championship game vs. Oklahoma.
Graduations, academic ineligibility and a series of other unfortunate quarterback events led to a single quarterback, redshirt freshman Chris Rix, on FSU’s depth chart heading into the 2001 season, giving way to a legitimate path for Boldin to have been FSU’s starter.
Alas, Boldin tore his ACL before the season started, missing the entire year.
His junior season was a revenge tour, putting up 1011 yards and 13 touchdowns on 65 catches, and ended the way that his Florida State career began: under center.
After Chris Rix was suspended for missing an exam and Fabian Walker, well, didn’t do too hot (throwing two interceptions in the first half, one being a pick six), Boldin was called in to throw live-action passes for only the second time since graduating high school.
It almost paid off immediately.
Boldin, who also caught a score, would still throw a touchdown later in the game, a 40-yard bomb to Craphonso Thorpe that still meant little in a 26-13 losing effort.
He’d decide to skip his senior season and enter the draft, a move that proved to turn wise but also provided another, “what-if?”
“When he came in to talk about playing that last season (2003),” Bowden said in 2017, “I told him if he stayed I was going to move him back to quarterback. I told him I thought he could win the Heisman.”
Drafted in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals, Boldin would go on to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, a prelude to an illustrious career that saw him play in two Super Bowls and win one with the Baltimore Ravens in 2012, placing him amongst the 11 Seminoles that have won championships in both college and the NFL.
