Texans rookie safety set to make NFL debut
‘I’ve dreamed about this day,’ Texans rookie Calen Bullock making NFL debut against Bears in Hall of Fame game Houston Texans safety Calen Bullock participates in drills during the NFL football team's rookie minicamp at Houston Methodist Training Center, Friday, May 10, 2024, in Houston. – Rangy, tall and instinctive, Calen Bullock has been as advertised since his arrival in Houston.
Roaming the secondary in a recent practice session, Bullock moved quickly and correctly as he applied tight coverage against Texans rookie tight end Cade Stover. Playing in the NFL is a huge difference from his collegiate experience. Bullock has to line up against shifty receivers and big, athletic tight ends. He’s learning on the job, and adjusting on the fly. It’s an adjustment.
“It’s been good,” Bullock said. “I got to learn from the older dudes, be around my rookie class. We all connected. Those older dudes took us under their wings and taught us their game. It’s been good transferring to the next level. .. Where Bullock can continue to make strides is in the weight room and becoming a crisper tackler. What he doesn’t lack is talent. There’s a major upside to Bullock who’s off to an encouraging start with the defending AFC South champions as an initial depth piece on defense and an immediate boost to the special teams.
Bullock visited the Texans during the draft process. An All-Pac-12 selection, Bullock also visited the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons.
