Kyle Fuller, CB

Fuller was one of the best corners in the NFL last season and surprisingly, the Chicago Bears are letting him test the free-agent market in 2018.

Drafted in the first-round by the Bears in 2014, the young corner was exceptional on the field last year. Fuller finished the 2017 season with 68 tackles, two interceptions, and 22 pass deflections.

Of the corners available in free agency this offseason, Fuller is atop the list according to Bleacher Report’s NFL1000 rankings.

Some may be wary of the corner’s performance in 2017, since it came in a contract year. But the Vikings have a defensive back-guru in head coach Mike Zimmer, who will likely be able to figure out how to make sure Fuller’s impressive play continues into the future.
