A sixth-round pick (No. 199 overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft, Fuller recorded 60 tackles and three interceptions in 12 games for the Rams last fall. His performance earned him the Carroll Rosenbloom Memorial Award, which is given to the franchise’s rookie of the year, and helped establish him as one of Los Angeles’ premier defensive players heading into this season.

With the departure of fellow safety John Johnson III, Fuller is now in line to wear a green dot on his helmet as the Rams’ defensive signal-caller.

“It's a big honor,” Fuller said. “(The coaches) look to me as somebody who could hold his own and make plays for this team and also be a leader. I mean, it's a huge honor. I just look at it as a way for me to prove people right, honestly. I like those expectations.”

A former four-star prospect from Old Tappan, N.J., Fuller was a three-time academic All-American and two-time team captain during his four-year career with the Buckeyes from 2016-19. He played in 53 games, including 40 starts, and recorded 224 tackles, 10 pass break ups and five interceptions.

Fuller’s impact goes well beyond stats, too, as his leadership style and impact at the next level have also inspired current Ohio State defensive backs like starting safety Josh Proctor.

“I think as he began his time in the league, I feel like a lot of the stuff he used to tell me started to make sense, started to come to me more,” Proctor said during a recent media availability. “Now I’m starting to realize a lot of little stuff he used to tell me, a lot of little stuff I need to focus on in order to become the player I do want to be. Not rely on athletic ability.”
