Fuller is a former Redskin who was first drafted by Washington in the third round of the 2016 draft.  He played in 29 games in two years in Washington, starting 12, before he was traded to Kansas City in the Alex Smith trade in 2018.  Fuller played a variety of roles with the Chiefs but eventually settled on slot corner.  He fills a major need in the Redskins’ secondary as a seasoned and talented veteran.
