The book is still out on Jonathan Bullard’s Florida career but there is the potential for 2015 being his swan song ending.
Bullard played sparingly during his freshman year, during which he had 27 tackles, five for loss.
The standout North Carolina product started in 23 games during his next two years on campus, racking up 85 tackles, 11 of them for loss.
Bullard has admitted that he came back to Florida to improve as a pass rusher, so look for his QB hurries and sack numbers to increase significantly.
With the Gators defense looking at Bullard as its senior leader, 2015 could be a year that yet another Gator defensive lineman is selected early in the NFL Draft.
