Scouting Report: Strengths
- Uses his hands well, with good hand placement to maximize his powerful punch. Bull shows impressive coordination between his upper and lower body when moving in pass protection.
- Effective grappling in the phone booth, with the upper-body strength and strong hands to outbattle defenders. He also shows a good understanding of angles when moving out to the second level
- When his hand placement is right, Bull has the strong grip that allows him to manhandle opponents. He plays with a mean streak and keeps the nastiness going through the whistle.
- Bull is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage.
- Takes much more pride in the run game, where he plays through the whistle with tremendous physicality.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Middling physical traits limit his ceiling, and Bull most likely will top out as a fringe starter on the right side.
- Often gets too high in his sets, sacrificing some of his power, and he doesn’t show great coordination between his upper and lower body when sliding back in pass protection.
- Will punch at smaller defenders instead of latching on and is more of a mauler than mover in the running game. Can improve maintaining outside leverage when doubling the nose. Ducks his head and gets too upright, causing him to fall off second-level blocks.
- Heavy-footed with an inconsistent kick slide. He’s going to have an awful time with speed rushers if asked to block on an island; he’s likely going to need help on the edge regardless.
