CB Fuller reportedly looks 'comfortable' in Washington camp

ESPN staff writer John Keim has noted that Washington Redskins second-year cornerback Kendall Fuller looks comfortable in camp. Keim says Fuller is “not getting beaten down the field — a sign his knee is fully back — and is making plays.” During practice, Fuller has taken the majority of snaps at slot corner and is the favorite to start in the slot in 2017.
Despite not being at 100 percent, Fuller played 475 snaps for the Redskins last season, but struggled in coverage. Working predominantly in the slot, Fuller allowed 1.99 yards per slot coverage snap, the most of 52 cornerbacks with at least 130 slot coverage snaps. He allowed a passer rating of 122.7 on throws into his primary coverage, the fifth-highest mark among slot corners.
Now that Fuller seems to be free of the knee injury that cost him most of his 2015 season at Virginia Tech and slowed his 2016 season in the NFL, the Redskins will hope he can return to his form he had in his 2014 college season, where he allowed a passer rating of just 64.7 on throws into his primary coverage and his PFF coverage grade ranked 57th of 406 qualifying cornerbacks.
