He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies. He was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2007.

Bullitt committed to Texas A&M at the end of his junior year.
As a freshman at Texas A&M University, Bullitt played in 8 games and produced 13 tackles for the Aggies. As a sophomore, he played in 12 games, finishing with 29 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble. He started 10 games as a junior and compiled 59 tackles, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles. In the 2006 season, as a senior outside linebacker, he started in all 13 games had 84 tackles (26 solo), one interception, one fumble recovery, and eight pass deflections. After the season, he was named to the 2006 AT&T All-Big 12 Football First-team. He finished his college career with 183 tackles (80 solo), 10.5 tackles for losses, and four interceptions.
Bullitt changed positions every season. He began playing at corner, then free safety, then strong safety, and finally at outside linebacker.
Bullitt signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent. In Week 5 he started in the Colts' dime package in a 33–14 victory over the Tampa Bay. He also saw action on defense in Week 9 against the New England as a replacement for injured Pro Bowl safety Bob Sanders. He had his most extensive playing time in Week 17 against Tennessee, when he entered the game in the second half after the Colts rested starters on both sides of the ball. Despite only playing the second half, he made a team-high 10 tackles.
During the 2008 season, Bullitt made three game-saving interceptions to seal victories for the Colts. In the 31–27 comeback win over the Texans on October 5, he intercepted a pass by quarterback Sage Rosenfels at the Indianapolis 22, with 42 seconds remaining in the game. On November 9, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger attempted to throw a touchdown pass into the end zone on the final play, but Bullitt intercepted the pass, preventing a Steelers comeback and sealing the 24–20 Colts win. The third game-saver occurred in the second matchup against the Texans on November 16, when Bullitt intercepted Rosenfels' pass at the Colts 35, with 32 seconds left in the game. In the same game, however, he missed a tackle near the line of scrimmage on running back Steve Slaton, who ran 71 yards for a touchdown. The Colts still won 33–27. Overall, Bullitt started nine games during the season, recording 42 solo tackles and four interceptions.
After the season, Bullitt received recognition from USA Today, which listed him on its annual "All-Joe" team.
