When the Los Angeles Rams selected former Ohio State safety Jordan Fuller in the 6th round of the 2020 NFL Draft, they felt they were getting one heck of a player. One in fact, that was likely underrated and undervalued by a lot of other draft experts.
Ohio State fans know how solid Fuller was in the back end of the country’s best pass defense last season, but he doesn’t jump out with his measurement. His forty time isn’t special, but he’s a heady player that takes the right angles and erases a lot of plays with his knowledge, ability to read the quarterback, and positioning.
You can watch the Rams’ scouts gush about Fuller by clicking on the Twitter video shared by their official profile below. You can also watch the moment he got the call from the organization telling him he was about to be selected.
The NFL draft process is one you have to take chances in. The Rams clearly felt Fuller was a prospect worth more than the 6th round he was selected in, but gambled that others had him graded out to where he would drop that far.
They appear to be pretty excited that they were right and were able to select him with such great value.
