Scouting Report: Strengths
- Instinctive, adept at reading routes and anticipating throws, and strong in zone coverage.
- Aware zone cornerback who also shows promise in man coverage, flashing physical hand usage at the line and straight-line speed to stay with receivers downfield.
- Has a nice blend of length, speed, and quickness. He’s at his best mirroring routes underneath, showing fluid movement skills and the ability to change directions on a dime.
- Does a good job getting his head around in time when playing with his back to the line of scrimmage. Has the ability to cover quickness underneath.
- Can get up under a receiver’s chin and has the speed to flip his hips and run downfield. Bullard has quick hands to jostle receivers early. But he’s at his best peeking into the backfield.
- Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Tends to play conservatively and give too much cushion when playing off.
- Gave up far too many big plays in college, especially concerning since Bullard has recovery speed to make up for missteps.
- Is undersized and needs to improve his strength when lining up in press coverage. Despite his quick hands, Bullard needs to enhance the power in his punch.
