Evaluation

Fulton is the complete package as a cornerback prospect. While not elite in one particular area he should be highly-coveted with his physical tools and skill-set needed to potentially excel in man-to-man or zone coverages at the next level. Has very good size with his tall, longer body and lean muscle tone. Very savvy with a good understanding of different schemes. Plays with good technique. Has natural coverage awareness and instincts at the position as well. Fluid in his pedal, hips and turns, particularly for a taller corner. May be better playing and breaking on the ball in front of him. Flashes good transitional quickness and burst out of his pedal closing the cushion on underneath routes. Has a good understanding of zone concepts knowing how to level off, read the quarterback and make breaks on the correct route. Does a very good job jamming and rerouting. Takes direct angles to ball on both run and pass support and closes hard in space with good short-area explosion and burst. Limits yards on hitch and other shorter routes. Shows he can mirror off the line and man coverage and flip his hips relatively smooth for a taller corner turning to run vertically. Flashes good makeup speed and acceleration. Does a great job placing himself between the ball and the receiver and making plays on the pass. Utilize his size to his advantage and knows how to subtly fight for inside positioning. Makes great adjustments to the ball in the air and recovers quickly in the short-area, assisted by his long arms and overall good body length. Knows how to high-point the football and shows good timing and leaping skills. Will come up hard on perimeter run support and stick running backs with good pop. Overall, is better playing the ball in front of him and while he has the tools to grow into a good press corner he does not have the hips to project very high as an off-man guy at the next level. Shows he is susceptible to the double move at times and we question his true top-end speed if left on an island. Displays very good acceleration but does tend to build speed at times. Is a productive receiver on offense but does not always show similar ball skills at corner. Overall, Fulton has a very good blend of size, physicality, makeup speed and savvy. Has been coached well and should adjust quickly both mentally and physically to the next level. Should also be a great special teams performer adding to his upside.
