Corey Fuller was unsure if he would attend the 2018 American Football Coaches Association Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Following a last-second decision, Fuller traveled to Charlotte for the event from Jan. 7-10, 2018.
“Why not?” Fuller recalls thinking the morning of his departure.
One of the first coaches he spotted was Central Michigan head coach John Bonamego, who was a special teams coordinator for the Detroit Lions in 2013 and 2014. At the same time, Fuller was a wide receiver in the Motor City.
“What are you doing here?” Bonamego inquired.
“Nobody picked me up,” Fuller responded.
