At Clarkstown High School North in New City, New York, Bulluck was named first-team All County, first-team All-State, Blue-Chip All-American, and both Prep Football Report and Super Prep All-Northeast. Like many children in the New York metropolitan area in the 1980s and early 1990s, he idolized Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor while growing up.[1] He was also an All-County in basketball as a junior. On April 27, 2009, Bulluck's high school jersey, #1, was retired in a ceremony held at the high school.
Bulluck played college football at Syracuse University. He played strong safety, outside linebacker and middle linebacker. As a senior in 1999 he led the Big East in tackles with 138 and received the Bill Horr Award, which is given to Syracuse’s most valuable player. He finished his career with 375 tackles, six sacks, three interceptions, three forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.
Bulluck was drafted by the Tennessee Titans 30th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft. After spending his first two seasons as a backup and special teamer, he became a starter in 2002. After becoming a starter he made a Pro Bowl in 2003 and has led the Titans in tackles five times. In 2004 he led the NFL in tackles with 152.[2] In 2007, he recorded a Titans-record five interceptions for a linebacker.
On July 24, after a private workout with the team, he signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Giants.[3] He became an unrestricted free agent following the season.
Bulluck is the uncle of former Syracuse linebacker Kelvin Smith.
