The former Titan has been everything the Chargers hoped for, and more, when they signed him to a one-year, $3.125 million contract during the offseason.
“I just want to prove I’m a top corner in this league,” said Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton, who signed with the team as a free agent after playing his first four seasons with the Tennessee Titans. “It’s going to show come game day, but right now I’m just focused on showing it every day to my coaches and my teammates that they can trust me out there. I know if I do my job, everything will take care of itself.
But it was also possible 2024 draft picks Tarheeb Still from Maryland and Cam Hart from Notre Dame could battle for the other starting cornerback position and win it. Others, including Matt Hankins, a free-agent acquisition in 2023, also were expected to stake a claim on the position. “Kristian is practicing like we thought he could,” Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said Wednesday. “He’s an ultra competitor. He’s really talented. I’m confident he’ll perform well this year. I don’t even know if he’s got a chip, but he’s got a boulder on his shoulder. We have a lot of confidence in him.”Fulton, 25, could fill a variety of roles, including as a slot cornerback.
For one thing, Ja’Sir Taylor could win the slot corner position with Deane Leonard as a possible backup. Leonard has been a special teams ace for the Chargers, someone who has played the role of gunner in punt coverage in recent seasons. Still, Hart and Hankins are expected to be depth players at cornerback.
