Bullard recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears. Despite logging his second-lowest defensive snap share (72 percent) of the season Sunday, Bullard finished as one of Green Bay's top tacklers, trailing Xavier McKinney and Carrington Valentine, who each posted nine stops. The 2024 second-round pick from Georgia is off to a strong start through the first 10 games of his rookie campaign, having recorded 59 total tackles and one pass defended while primarily playing in the slot. He's expected to continue improving as he adapts to his new position throughout the season.
Bullard logged eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals. Bullard has registered eight tackles in two consecutive games, and he has played at least 50 defensive snaps in each of the Packers' last three contests. The 2024 second-round pick is up to 36 combined tackles through the first six games of the regular season, which is third-most on the Packers and fourth-most among rookies.
Bullard made 11 tackles (seven solo) in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles. The rookie started in his professional debut and wound up tied for the team lead in tackles. Bullard did not leave the field for any of the 76 plays run by the opposition, so expect him to remain busy moving forward.
Bullard has opened recent practices at training camp with the first-team defense, Peter Bukowski of The Leap reports. Coach Matt LaFleur said recently that the Packers would deploy a rotation at safety next to locked-in starter Xavier McKinney, but that hasn't prevented Bullard from retaining a strong grip on first-team reps. LaFleur's comments about a safety rotation could have less to do with Bullard's ability to contribute as an immediate starter and more to do with his versatility to switch between safety and man-coverage, or even his potential to take reps in the slot. To kick off training camp, Bullard was considered in the "pole position" to earn a starting safety role alongside McKinney, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, and his recent performance at practice seems to further support that notion.
