Production was not abundant for Kristian Fulton at LSU, but that is no fault of his own. Teams had a difficult time throwing on the Tigers defense in 2019 because they had two elite cornerbacks on the outside. That goes to show just how talented and respected Fulton was for LSU.

Fulton is incredible in his communication, both before and after the snap, to get himself in position to make plays. He also excels with his footwork at the line of scrimmage and mirroring his opponent in order to make the proper read on the route.

Most of all, Fulton is ready for the NFL from Day 1 and he understands the technique of playing cornerback.

There are a handful of first-round cornerbacks in this class, and Fulton is definitely among them. With other prospects offering more physical traits, Fulton may slide right into Minnesota’s lap at the end of the first round.
