Kyle Fuller was drafted by former Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery to play in a more zone based defense in 2014. What ever then Bears’ defensive coordinator Mel Tucker called his atrocious 2014 D, Fuller actually looked like a player with some potential. He was dinged up mush of that season, but he toughed it out to play in all 16 games (14 starts) and make 64 tackles, 4 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and defend 10 passes.
When the Bears cleaned house after that season, the new John Fox regime mentioned Fuller by name as a building block for the future.
