At the 2024 NFL scouting combine, USC defensive back Calen Bullock measured in at 6’2 and 188 pounds. He recorded a 4.48 40-yard dash with a 33-inch vertical jump. He has been projected by most to be an early Day 3 selection in April, a likely fourth-round pick. That would represent upward movement. Bullock had been discussed as a fifth- or sixth-round pick in the weeks before the combine.
Bullock has very good length for the position at 6-foot-2, with 32 ½-inch arms. His length is evident on tape in the past two seasons for the Trojans. He’s also a very good athlete for the safety position, with good long-distance speed, quick feet, and fluid hips in coverage.
The former USC Trojan can also play cornerback at the next level with the mentioned attributes above, but he has played the true safety position for most of his career.
Calen Bullock projects as a free safety at the NFL level, and will be at his best in a defense that uses a high rate of Cover 1 and Cover 3 schemes. It will be interesting to see if the team that drafts him ultimately agrees.
In the past two years at USC, Bullock had 87 tackles, 7 INTs (running one back for a TD) and 8 pass breakups, appearing in 26 games with 14 starts.
