In his rookie season, Redskins cornerback Kendall Fuller is making an solid impact on a defensive unit that has benefited from his insertion into the starting lineup.
When the Redskins invested a third-round draft pick into Kendall Fuller in this year's draft, they expected big things from the Virginia Tech cornerback in the future.
Due to an injury to Week 1 starting nickel corner Deshaun Phillips, Fuller has been thrown into the position. He hasn’t disappointed – the rookie has solidified his spot as the Redskins starting nickel corner.
Defensive coordinator Joe Barry credited the teaching Fuller had at Virginia Tech to his solid play.
