The Kansas City Chiefs completed a major trade on Wednesday, acquiring cornerback Kendall Fuller and a draft pick from the Washington Redskins in exchange for quarterback Alex Smith.
Here are five things to know about Kansas City’s new defensive back.
1. Fuller was graded as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL last season
The 23-year-old Fuller recorded four interceptions, 10 passes defensed and a forced fumble last season – all improvements from his rookie campaign – but it was the advanced metrics that really demonstrated his effectiveness. In fact, according to the folks at Pro Football Focus, Fuller was the sixth-best cornerback in all of football least season.
