College career
Bozeman was a starter as a junior and senior and was a team captain as a senior.[1] Despite being a 2017 Rimington Trophy finalist, Bozeman was not invited to the NFL scouting combine.
Professional career
Bozeman was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round, 215th overall, of the 2018 NFL Draft.[2] He played in 14 games as a rookie, starting one game, against the New Orleans Saints, at Left Guard.[3] In his second season, Bozeman was named the Ravens' starting Left Guard and has started every game of the 2019 season.[4]
Personal life
During the 2019 NFL season, Bozeman and his wife Nikki lived full-time in an RV. Their primary home was a 40-foot (12 m) trailer that includes luxury features such as a California king-size bed, granite kitchen countertops, a 65-inch (170 cm) TV, and a separate room for their two dogs. They initially bought the $48,000 trailer for offseason travel, but soon decided to live full-time in it. In a 2020 ESPN story, Bozeman estimated that the move saved the couple about $1,800 per month in rent. After the season, they traveled the U.S. in a smaller donated RV, combining anti-bullying presentations to student groups with sightseeing side trips until their venture was cut short due to coronavirus concerns. Both experienced frequent school bullying, Bradley for being "short and fat" and Nikki for being the tallest in her class. The couple initially planned to live in their larger RV for at least two more years, but found a house they felt they could not pass up, and planned to move into it upon their return from their cross-country trip.[5]
