Strengths:
Jordan Fuller is a stellar athlete with dynamic range, especially as a single high middle of the field safety. Laterally from sideline to sideline Fuller is impressive as they come and is confident at making his reads. Ohio State’s defense caused Fuller to rotate down and cover the slot which he showed to adept at. Instinctive when the ball is around has showcased a solid football IQ, as he was required to make checks and reads at OSU. Fuller will make for a legitimate free safety in the NFL, teams like the 49er’s, and Eagles could require his services.
Areas to Improve:
Jordan Fuller is a great athlete and at times he relies on it so heavily that he loses technique. As exceptional as Fuller is he does sometimes get caught over-pursuing the football and needs to be more patient when at the ball carrier. He’s actually a good open field tackler, he just needs to improve on his ability to make tackles at the LOS and in the immediate run game.
