After a long wait between picks, the Los Angeles Rams went back on the clock at No. 199 overall. And with that selection, they drafted Ohio State safety Jordan Fuller.
Fuller was a three-year starter at Ohio State, finishing his career with 216 tackles and five interceptions with 10 passes defensed. While not the best athlete, Fuller is a smart safety who can also contribute on special teams early on.
He also has the size to match up with tight ends in man coverage, though he won’t do that much early in his career with the depth the Rams have at safety.
Fuller joins a secondary that also just added fellow rookie Terrell Burgess out of Utah, giving the rams excellent depth at safety and cornerback. John Johnson will be a free agent in 2021, too, and could command a high price tag if he reaches the market.
