Forgotten Falcon: Could Devin Fuller be in the special teams mix in 2018?

Wide receiver Devin Fuller has never seen an NFL field. Blessed with whip-crack speed, the 2016 seventh-round draft pick out of UCLA has endured consecutive season-ending injuries, leaving his Atlanta — and NFL — career in limbo. With the Falcons presumably cutting ties with kick returner and inopportune fair catch-enthusiast Andre Roberts this offseason, Atlanta has an opening on special teams. That’s good news for Devin Fuller.

To borrow a baseball adage: Speed doesn’t slump.

The Falcons don’t know what they have in Devin Fuller, but it’s glaringly obvious that an upgrade at the return spot is warranted.
