ORLANDO, Fla. — Minutes before he took the field to play flag football with kids Friday, Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller recalled the way he started in the sport. He played flag, too — but never had any encounter with NFL players. Well, those who weren’t his brothers.
Defensive back Vincent Fuller, 10 years Kyle’s senior, played most of his 76 NFL games with the Titans. Receiver Corey Fuller, two years older than Kyle, played 28 games with the Lions.
Cornerback Kendall Fuller is the baby of the family, about three years younger than Kyle. He’s played 55 NFL games — with one more to go this season. He’s started at cornerback for the Chiefs throughout the playoffs.
Kyle Fuller will fly into Miami the day before the Super Bowl to watch his brother. It will mark the first time he’s attended the championship game in person. He said he’s allowed to wear Chiefs gear, but probably won’t.
He didn’t go to the AFC title game, but has checked in with his brother since.
“I called him the next day: ‘How did it feel? Did it hit you yet?’” Kyle Fuller said. “He could tell the difference, but it still hasn’t hit him yet. I’m sure it will once they get down to Miami — or even this week.”
Fuller said there’s no competitive jealousy. He’s rooting for his brother.
“It’s not like that,” he said. “He got there. It’s going to be cool.”
