How Jonathan Bullard Has Helped Himself and the Chicago Bears

In the 2016 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard out of the University of Florida. Bullard had a productive collegiate career and was considered a real steal in the third-round last year. Several draft prognosticators thought that Chicago made the right choice as they got a first to second round talent in the third round. You heard the word “steal” being mentioned. Had the Bears made out with that pick?

Bullard ended up underachieving in his first year in the NFL. He did not see the field nearly as much as anyone thought that he would and had just 297 defensive snaps.
