Green Bay Packers: Slo-Mo Video Shows Javon Bullard’s Nasty Work in Colts Practice

Defensive back Javon Bullard has been a versatile weapon for the Green Bay Packers, proving his abilities to do his job whether through playing as a cornerback or a safety. Entering his second year in the league, Bullard has learned to embrace such a fluid role for the Packers after not being fully appreciative of it at first.

“I love it. Now, I’m embracing it,” Bullard said, per Mike Spofford of Packers.com. “Last year, to be honest with you, maybe I felt like it was a negative. Now I’m thinking of it like a positive.”

Added the former Georgia Bulldogs star: “They don’t know where (number) 20 gonna line up.”

In his first season in the NFL, Bullard, who was taken in the second round (58th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft by the Packers, recorded a pass defended, a fumble recovery and 90 combined tackles.

After getting just a 52.3 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, there is plenty of room for Bullard to grow, and he could make that big step in the 2025 campaign. The Packers are expecting more from their defense in the second year of Jeff Hafley’s tenure as the team’s defensive coordinator.

Bullard makes noteworthy play in Green Bay Packers’ joint practice with Colts

During Thursday’s joint practice with the Colts, Bullard made a highlight play that was posted on social media by the Packers.

After Colts quarterback Daniel Jones connected with wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, Bullard came from behind and forced the ball from Mitchell’s hands.

The Packers are counting on Bullard to make a leap forward in 2025, but he also knows that playing his position means failures are inevitable on the field.

“I’m a DB, man, you’re going to get beat,” Bullard said during training camp. “You can’t get mentally down on yourself.

“We’re hard on ourselves. We challenge ourselves. We work our butt off every day, and when the results don’t add up, you can’t get down.”

The Green Packers have two more preseason games to play, including this Saturday’s meeting with the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, where Bullard could have an opportunity to help Green Bay’s defense shine after getting lit up last week by the New York Jets.
