It hasn’t been an easy several weeks for rookie cornerback Kendall Fuller.
When he got his first opportunity to start at the nickel cornerback position in Week 4, filling in for an injured Dashaun Phillips, Fuller exhibited good coverage and tackling skills, enough that coaches felt he could handle the rigors of a position many feel is the most challenging to play in the secondary.
But lately, Fuller has been struggling to keep up with the league’s most dangerous receivers, which have all lined up more in the slot as a way to escape the coverage of cornerback Josh Norman.
