Chicago Bears Draft Prospects: Cornerbacks
Kendall Fuller (6-foot-0, 197 pounds) — Virginia Tech
Fuller is another one of the many players in this draft whose medical reports will determine how high (or low) their draft stock will go.
Fuller was hoping to go the same route as his brother and current Chicago Bears corner Kyle, and become a first-round pick, but a torn meniscus suffered in September ended his season and put doubts in his abilities.
If his medical reports are clear, Fuller definitely can still go in the first round. He has excellent skills to be a solid NFL player. Some scouts say he can even be a better pro than Kyle.
Fuller has good size and agility to keep up with receivers. Some scouts consider him a lock-down corner who can take on the opponent’s best receiver.
Fuller has great field awareness and anticipation skills, but like Jackson, he gets too aggressive sometimes, and a double-move can hurt him. He also needs to look for the ball more when it is in the air. He depends too much on watching the receiver, and that can lead to a lot of pass interference calls against him.
Fuller will become the fourth Fuller brother to make it to the NFL. He will join Vincent (fourth round, 2005), Corey (sixth round, 2013) and Kyle (first round, 2014). While the Mannings get the attention as the premiere football family, the Fullers should be considered one of the most revered families in the NFL. Kendall Fuller will carry on his family’s tradition.
