Seattle Seahawks: 3 undrafted free agents who could make the team
Aaron Fuller, Washington Huskies.
Aaron Fuller, WR, University of Washington
U-dub fans have seen Aaron Fuller make some amazing Odell Beckham Jr.–esque catches throughout his Washington Huskies career. As much as he has delighted them with highlight-reel plays, Fuller also frustrated them greatly, dropping the easiest of passes. He’s like the Forest Gump box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.
Fuller didn’t become a starter at Washington until his junior year, but his 159 career catches are sixth all-time for UW. The five players ahead of him and the one behind him all went on to play in the NFL. He also had 2,051 receiving yards (7th) and 13 TDs (tied 12th).
At the pro level, Fuller won’t burn defensive backs with his 4.59 speed. Instead, as a good route-runner, he can work the slot to find space between the hash marks and fight for contested balls. Fuller must improve his concentration. His biggest obstacle, however, will be physical cornerbacks. At 5-11, 185-pounds, he can get knocked off of his assigned route in press coverage.
His biggest asset to the Seattle Seahawks will be in the return game. Number one receiver Tyler Lockett has done more than his share, the past few years, running back kicks and punts. Because he has been used so much on special teams, Lockett has taken more of a pounding than he should have, he could use a break. Fuller can more than adequately fill the punt return job. As a senior, he had an impressive 11.5-yard average and took one to the house.
