2) Bullard attended college at the University of Florida and finished his senior year as a a First Team All-SEC selection and a Third-team All-American.
3) On the television show Inside the Bears, Jonathan took part in a segment called Big Guys, Compact Cars where he admitted he is a huge Lebron James fan and makes the argument that Lebron is better than Kobe Bryant.
D: Did you play any other sports growing up before you specialized in football? How do you stay active during the off season?
JB: I played basketball, baseball, and AAU basketball.
D's Follow Up: I play basketball too so it's cool to say that all 3 of us play. You don't see many guys as big as Jonathan Bullard playing baseball. I wonder what position he played for his team.
J: What quarterback in the NFL would you like to sack the most?
JB: Probably Cam Newton. He's as big as I am and he's also in Carolina which is where I'm from.
J's Follow Up: I thought he was going to say Aaron Rodgers because he's his rival or another great QB like Tom Brady. I think it will be hard to sack Cam Newton because he's a running quarterback like Lamar Jackson. I want to see him sack Cam a lot when they play this year because I love to watch the quarterback get sacked.
J: What were some of the best parts about playing for the Florida Gators?
JB: The atmosphere. Running down the swamp, the best college stadium in America. I would say the atmosphere and the Gator fan base.
J's Follow Up: I'm a fan of the Gators because they invented Gatorade there and there have been a ton of Bears players that I like that came from Florida like Alex Brown, Rex Grossman, and Jon Bostic.
Today we had a great opportunity to meet two rising stars for the Chicago Bears at one signing. We met the 3rd and 4th round draft picks from last season, Jonathan Bullard and Deiondre' Hall. This event was put together by Scott's Basement, a baseball card and sports memorabilia shop in Schaumburg. It was our first visit but it definitely won't be our last.
Jonathan and Deiondre' were welcoming and excited to answer Jordan and Danny's questions. The boys continue to get more confident with each athlete they meet. Danny started out with one of their more popular questions asking Jonathan about the other sports he played growing up. Of course, as we've seen with most other pro athletes, he was also a multi-sport athlete competing in basketball and baseball along with football. We understand the benefits of playing multiple sports as a kid and it's always great for Jordan and Danny to hear athletes played sports they love to play. I can only imagine Jonathan dominated the paint during his basketball days and had serious home run power on the baseball field.
The boys were also curious to find out which QB Jonathan would most like to sack this upcoming season. I think Cam Newton is a great choice for many reasons. Known as one of the top players in the league and NFL MVP just two years ago, Cam is elusive, strong and smart. Recording a sack in Soldier Field against the Pro Bowl QB would be a huge feather in the cap of the young defensive end's career.
Finally, Jordan wanted to know what it's like to be a Florida Gator and part of one of the top football programs in the country. Bullard noted the awesome fan base and the greatest stadium in the country located in the swamps of Gainesville. The Bears have certainly had their fair share of Gators throughout the years and we are excited that Jonathan is now one of the Monsters of the Midway. We have a ton of respect for the Gators and would definitely love to visit the swamp for a game someday.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to Jonathan Bullard for taking the time to talk with Jordan and Danny and Scott's Basement for an awesome event! We will certainly be cheering him on this fall and we can't wait to see what he does in his sophomore season.
