The 2024 NFL Draft will be a great event for teams to start building for their future. Here is the Calen Bullock 2024 NFL Draft Profile.
Position: Safety
School: USC
Size: 6-foot-2, 188 pounds
Class: Junior
2023 stats: 63 total tackles, 2 interceptions, 7passes defended, 1 touchdowns
Bullock played three years for USC where he made some big plays for the Trojans. Now he is in the 2024 NFL Draft.
As a four-star prospect in the class of 2021, Bullock stayed in the state to play for the Trojans. He played multiple positions as a freshman, starting six games with 40 total tackles, two interceptions and three passes defended. Bullock entered the starting lineup in 2022 on a full-time basis, registering 48 total tackles, five interceptions and five passes defended. His play aided the Trojans in winning 11 games. In 2023, Bullock totaled 63 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes defended. USC won eight wins with Bullock’s help.
Following the 2023 season, Bullock declared for the 2024 NFL Draft. He is currently projected to be a day-two pick.
Bullock is a versatile secondary player. He played free safety a lot over the last two years. Bullock also has experience in the slot and at cornerback. That versatility will make him a fit for plenty of defenses who like to move their players around on defense.
He has good ball skills after making plenty of plays in college. Bullock tracks the ball well in the air and attacks the catchpoint. He puts himself in good position and can usually come down with an interception and if not, can at least make a play on the ball.
His range is truly unique for this class. Bullock can be trusted in single or double-high coverage, as he can cover a lot of ground. His speed can allow him to cover receivers as well, as he is able to keep up with them as they make their breaks.
Bullock is not a good tackler and won’t show much effort in making big hits. At times Bullock can dive at ankles to make tackles. He can also allow broken tackles when trying to make bigger hits. Bullock can add some strength and more focus to his tackling.
Partially because of his inability to consistently make tackles, Bullock won’t offer much in run support. He is not good playing in the box. Bullock struggles to shed blocks and needs to take better angles to the football as well to have more of an impact.
His eye balance and awareness can improve. In zone, he needs to keep an eye on his zone and the quarterback to maintain better coverage. He also can show better route-recognition. Bullock can fall for double-moves on occasion and has to stay more disciplined.
Projected Draft Range: Second Round Pick-Third Round Pick
Draft Grade: Second Round Pick
