Javon Bullard had an up-and-down rookie season despite playing 816 defensive snaps over the course of 15 games. The rookie of the University of Georgia came in as the starting safety in Week 1 of 2024 and by Week 5 was kicked down to the slot corner role while Evan Williams took over at safety with Xavier McKinney.
There does not seem to be as much excitement for Bullard heading into 2025 as there is for other players like Evan Williams or Edgerrin Cooper from last year’s draft class. What explains that perception? It could be how his stats are charted.
