Rams rookie safety Jordan Fuller says his first NFL game was a surreal experience
LA TimesThe Rams’ Jordan Fuller could not stop the Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott on this play, but the rookie made the tackle of the game in the fourth quarter Sunday night. “He had some plays that we definitely expect him to be better,” coach Sean McVay said Monday, adding, “What I love is that he just stayed the course, ended up making the biggest play of the game.. That was arguably a game-winning play.” When training camp opened in August, Fuller was regarded as a potential rotational player behind projected starters John Johnson and Taylor Rapp in new coordinator Brandon Staley’s defense. “For him to come in without any OTAs, without any kind of opportunity to kind of build that stuff up early on, only having training camp to be able to develop and get a grasp of the defense, he’s done an incredible job of being able to adapt from college to pro and the speed and the concepts that we run at the pro level,” Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp told reporters Monday. “He goes out of his way sometimes, like when we’re watching film, he’s like, ‘Hey Jordan, if you look this way, like, you could make this play.’ “So he’s been awesome, but it’s really been everybody.” Fuller was ready when the Cowboys drove to the Rams’ 11-yard line in the fourth quarter.
