Aaron Fuller hasn’t surpassed Chris Petersen’s expectations.
But that’s because the Washington head coach saw his potential all along.
Fuller could have had a similar season last year, Petersen said, if he’d been given the opportunity. Through eight games, Fuller is leading the Huskies 42 receptions for 652 yards and three touchdowns. He finished the 2017 season with 26 catches for 291 yards and one touchdown.
“He’s always been very sure-handed and a smart football player,” Petersen said. “I think that’s one of his best qualities. He’s just really smart. And that shows up. He knows how to get open and obviously has really talented hands.
