LA Rams 2020 NFL Draft S Jordan Fuller deserves some buzz

Round four value, but round six bargain

By all accounts, Jordan Fuller was good, far better than where the Rams found him in round six. He was one of the players added by the Rams who filled a future need, but also adds that hint of flexibility to the Rams defense which suddenly emphasizes versatility and flexibility. In Fuller, the Rams landed one of the best coverage safeties in the draft.

Don’t take my word for it, but you should respect the opinion of Pro Football Focus College analysis:

The best rate among college safeties, drafted in round six?  Whodda thunk?

Worker bee work ethic

The other downside risk was picking a young man who had already known his share of success at the college level and would be content enough with that experience to ease up a bit on training for an NFL role. He’s a young man on a mission to succeed in the NFL. That includes a workout regiment that rivals that of NFL veterans

And so, the young man pushes himself to the limit now so that his limit will be more than enough when the team decides who makes this roster.

There are no guarantees of earning a roster spot if you hear your name called on day three of the NFL Draft, and Fuller is not about to leave his NFL career to random chance. That means good things for the LA Rams defense this year, and well into the future.  After all, the Ohio State Buckeyes and the LA Rams have this similarity on defense: both enjoy very successful football programs.
