Curtis Fuller, the new defensive backs coach for Carolina, played four years in the NFL at safety. The Seahawks selected him in the fourth round in 2001. He played 26 games in two seasons for Seattle, recording his only career interception in his second season. After spending the 2003 season with the Packers, Fuller joined the Panthers during the 2004 season, which proved to be his last.
2. Fuller was greatly influenced by TCU head coach Gary Patterson: Fuller spent his final three collegiate seasons at Texas Christian after transferring from junior college.
When he got there, he became an all-conference safety under the tutelage of Gary Patterson, a coach known for his defensive wisdom.
