It’s never too early to start looking at the next crop of prospects for the NFL draft - I’ve been on 2024 since mid-April. I’ll be releasing the notes I’ve taken so far on a few prospects - starting with the quarterbacks and releasing a different position group each week. This week we look at the safety class.

These are not complete scouting reports but some observations I’ve made so far. Enjoy

+ Positives and strengths
- Negatives or needs work
? Questions I still have, things I haven’t seen on tape yet

Calen Bullock, USC, 6’3, 190
+ Length and leaping ability make him a literal huge threat at single high safety
+ Intimidating to opposing quarterbacks
+ Huge catch radius and soft hands for a defensive back
+ Above-average fluidity for a really big safety

- Big safety but lacks strength and aggression
- Lean and lengthy frame - needs to add bulk

? Strength and speed

Tackles: 48
Tackles for Loss: 0
Sacks: 0
Interceptions: 5

Comp: Jessie Bates
