Kyle Fuller, CB – Denver Broncos

At one time, Kyle Fuller looked like he would be a star cornerback in the NFL. Sadly, he has tumbled down the Denver depth chart and has become one of the more popular names to appear in projected trades.

At the moment, the Green Bay Packers have a decimated secondary, and the Lions could use depth at the position. Even if he doesn’t have a career resurgence with his new team, adding a decent defender to the roster would help in a big way.

Fuller had arguably his best season in 2018 when he intercepted seven passes but he had 18 interceptions in his first five seasons but only had one in his final season with the Bears in 2020 before landing with the Broncos.

If traded to Green Bay, the six-foot defensive back immediately becomes a contender to start as soon as he learns the playbook. In the meantime, he could fill in or provide a breather for Packers corners.
