Tim was Team Captain at BC High.

He recorded 17 sacks in his senior season, finished high-school career with more than 36 sacks in 3 seasons. And Tim's favorite accomplishment BC High won the Super Bowl in his senior year.

He went on to Boston College, played as a true freshmen, playing in 49 games for the Eagles. In 2004 he was voted as Captain at BC, Scanlan Award Winner (highest honor for all-around athletic, academic and community excellence), All Big East 2nd Team 2004. Finished BC career with 160 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 38 tackles for loss, 36 pressures, 2 caused fumbles, 2 recovered fumbles, blocked a kick and batted away 17 passes.

NFL career- originally went as an Undrafted Free Agent to the Arizona Cardinals in 2005, played in 8 games, starting 1 in rookie year, spent 2006-2011 (6 seasons) with the Houston Texans, playing in 43 games, starting 1 including 2 playoff appearances. He finished his career with 57 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 passes defended and a fumble recovery. Played every position on the defensive line and every spot on special teams (except kicker) during career.

“Looking back on it now,” said Brian Fitzgibbon, Tim's friend and classmate, “what impresses me most about Tim is that he set a high goal for himself and went out and accomplished it.  When he was a freshman, he said to us that he wanted to earn a scholarship to play football at BC; and then he did it. When you really think about it, that is absolutely amazing... especially given that he hadn't yet hit his growth spurt and had to deal with rehabilitation from a major knee operation.  -- I cannot think of a better example of leadership, dedication and staying focused on a goal than my good friend, Tim Bulman.”

“Tim's leadership of the team went well beyond his physical assets,” added Tim Feeney, “his commitment to getting better was really a driving factor on improving every player on the team (from the starting QB to the scout team D tackle) - he won every sprint at practice and was the first one in the weight room every time we had a workout.”
