Bullough

Known mostly for his 2017 Hard Knocks appearance, Bullough played 126 snaps for the Bucs’ abysmal 2018 defense. He will begin his Tennessee tenure on the outside looking in of a 53-man roster spot.

Bullough (6’2/226) made 23 starts at middle linebacker for the Spartans, tallying 18 career tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. He dabbled at fullback and running back as a freshman, also playing special teams. Undersized and underwhelming athletically, Bullough would do well to carve out an NFL career like his older brother Max, a backup for the Texans whose strength is covering punts and kicks.

The rookie UDFA out of Michigan State, Bullough was a star on this summer’s Hard Knocks series. He was trying to carve out a role as a backup middle linebacker and special teams player and should get another shot elsewhere.
