@Timmy! posted:I'm hoping X and other vets keep Bull on the straight and narrow. I suspect he's smart enough to learn quickly, but a LOT of UGA players from Kirby Smart's program lack maturity.
I also hope that Hafley is the type of coach who actually prioritizes accountability. Something that has been missing for (too) many years.
When you get everything handed to you on a silver platter, consistent accolades, and lots of free stuff, why grow up or be accountable? 
Javon Bullard on the viral clip of him screaming, “I’m a fucking Packer” after getting drafted:

“I’m really surprised I got away with it because my mama was right there beside me. I can’t fake the funk, man. It was an amazing moment for me, one of the best feelings I ever had.” pic.twitter.com/AS1mlwmt8e
Can't fake the funk.
Literally say that 4x a day
This dude already sounds like a vet. Total dawg.

Bullard is making a name for himself already and I love that he has a DB-centric DC leading him. More from CheeseheadTV here:

Our safety room is the bomb! Weakness to strength in one off-season.
Only his hair looks like Peanut's from Jeff Dunham.
Bullard signs his rookie contract.
Cam across this comment from Mr BobGray who writes about the Packers from time to time
"Yeah, this guy has such a good feel for the defensive backfield. Love seeing those players who understand both the physical realities of the game and the theoretical game behind it.
Physical side is stuff like man coverage, playing the ball, tackling.
Theoretical side is the understanding of angles, spacing, alignments, the patterns of leverage and vulnerability. Bullard has the feel for space and the game behind the game mixed with the ability to come downhill like a freight train."
Pairing Bullard with veteran Xavier McKinney is pretty exciting. It frequently takes Safeties some time to put it all together... but Bullard has a great head start, a DC who specializes in DB play and a veteran mentor to help him along

Here's another item on Mr. Bullard and his incredible versatility via our friends at PackersWire
https://packerswire.usatoday.c...ey-packers-defense/?
"In 2022, Bullard was primarily a slot defender — he lined up there on 510 of his snaps, with 64 snaps in the box, 20 in the slot, and just 12 at free safety.
In 2023, Bullard’s profile flipped completely. That’s when he played 362 snaps in the deep third, 144 in the slot, 80 in the box, and just three on the line. Smart needed Bullard to dominate at a key position he’d rarely played before, and that’s exactly when Bullard did. Last season, he allowed 14 catches on 26 targets for 119 yards, 68 yards after the catch, no touchdowns, two interceptions, five pass breakups, and an opponent passer rating of 34.0. Among FBS safeties playing at least 50% of their defenses’ snaps, that ranked sixth-lowest.
On both single-high and two-deep reps, Bullard immediately displayed many of the traits you want in that type of player — from the understanding of route concepts, to the range to work from the middle of the field to the boundary."
That's the attitude every pro in any sport should take!
You have never "arrived"
Keep working!
