DE Jonathan Bullard

The Bears found a 1st-round talent in the 3rd round with defensive end Jonathan Bullard. He’s highly versatile and intimidatingly explosive and disruptive off the snap. The Bears 3-4 base scheme kind of limits Bullard to the DE position. In a 4-3 he’d virtually be able to play every single position on the DL. Nonetheless, I believe the 3-4 DE spot is where the former Florida Gator’s rare blend of power and speed can excel the most.

Against the Colts last Sunday, Jonathan Bullard recorded his first-career sack and appears to be heating up after being limited by injuries in the previous two games. There’s no real weakness in Bullard’s game, making him a sure thing as far as sure things go. Starting DE for many years to come is the obvious prediction here.

Stats:

vs PHI: 1 tackle

@ DAL: 2 tackles

@ IND: 3 tackles, 1 sack
