Andre Fuller

No. 35 · Rookie

Pick 236 is a number. What comes next is the story.

There is a long walk from the final rounds of the draft to a starting spot in an NFL secondary. Andre Fuller just took the first step.

Fuller arrived in Seattle as the 236th pick — deep in the draft, where most players are long shots and everyone knows it. The signal that brought him there was his toughness at cornerback, the kind of trait that scouts notice even when the spotlight isn't on you. Whether that translates to a real role on the Seattle Seahawks' defense is the open question every late-round pick carries into their first camp.

The Seahawks took a flier. Fuller now has to make them glad they did. That is, quietly, the whole game for a player picked this late — not just survive the cuts, but make the decision feel obvious in hindsight.

Whatever Fuller is, he is just getting started. The number says very little. What he does with the next few months will say everything.
