He had an 84.7 PFF Man coverage grade in 2020 when he first was signing to Denver, following Fangio from his tenure in Chicago. He was a former All-pro back in 2018, but has since declined in play over the last couple seasons.Broncos fan…He’s on the back end of his career of course but still a high IQ guy, I remember hearing he’s a super film junky so that should add to the db room. His long speed isn’t there anymore, he got beat on a deep ball i wanna say 3 of the first 4 games of the year but would tighten up for the rest of the game most of their times. PS2 ended up moving into his spot when Darby got back. Then he moved to nickel when bryce got hurt late in the year and was surprisingly solid there after never playing nickel in the league before. He has great awareness and is a good tackler, if he has any athleticism left he can provide solid snaps if needed
Broncos bringing back PJ Locke, signing K’Waun Williams & drafting guys like Damarri Mathis (even though he’s more of a Safety, but he can play Corner & Nickel when needed) & Faion Hicks made Fuller expendable. Plus, with Surtain Jr being way ahead of schedule emerging as already one of the 10 best corners in the league as a rookie, gave yall flexibility on an already loaded Defense to not be desperate in re-signing a player towards the tail end of his career.
Fuller is a local Baltimore kid, so he’s going back home to fill a role, we’re not bringing him to be a CB1 Field Corner tasked with locking down the #1 WR on a weekly basis, his job is to provide depth & veteran experience to a injury riddled CB group that had some turnover to the room losing 3 Corners & Safety this offseason.
With Peters coming back from injury, our next CB in line to start would have been an inexperienced 4th round rookie, therefore it was necessary to bring in a savvy vet just in case Peters or Humphrey gets hurt again. And since we couldn’t afford James Bradberry, we had to take what we can get lol.
