Georgia safety makes NFL All-Rookie team

Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Javon Bullard has made NFL.com’s All-Rookie team for the 2024 season. Bullard is one of 11 defenders on Chad Reuter’s All-Rookie defense.

The Green Bay Packers drafted Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft. Bullard, who had an emotional reaction to being drafted, is adjusting to life in the NFL.

“Bullard can make plays on the ball and secure open-field tackles whether he’s lined up deep or inside the box, which makes him a great complement to free-agent addition Xavier McKinney,” said Chad Reuter. “Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will have the flexibility to play single-high or two-deep coverage.”

Bullard brings versatility to the Green Bay secondary and has a chance to start as a rookie. Bullard is a strong tackler that came up with some clutch performances for Georgia during the College Football Playoff.

Bullard was one of eight Georgia Bulldogs selected in the 2024 NFL draft. He’s poised to make a big impact as a rookie along with Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Amarius Mims and more.
