CB Kendall Fuller

(How did it feel going against QB Michael Penix Jr.? What have you seen from him moving to the NFL? What are some things that you saw?) – “That would be tough for me to answer right now, just because when you’re out there, you’re not thinking about what quarterback you’re playing against because you get a lot of reps with Kirk (Cousins) as well. Even in film, you’re not necessarily paying attention too much to what they are doing, more so what we are doing. If I said anything right now, it would be just empty words. I couldn’t even really answer that question.”

(Have you enjoyed your fist couple of weeks being a teammate of CB Jalen Ramsey knowing all of the things he’s able to do?) – “Yeah man, it’s been fun. Jalen (Ramsey), he is who he is every single day. One thing I respect about him is the level of play that people see him play on on Sundays, he comes out that way every single day. That’s something that’s been big for our group, big for our defense and for our team. We definitely rely on and appreciate the way he comes into work.”

(Did you see much of WR Drake London in coverage today?) – “Yeah, a couple of times.”

(What do you think of him as a player?) – “He’s pretty good. I played against him last year. Big receiver, can make tough catches, so I think he has a good future.”

(Was there anything today that you think went beyond the line of what should be done in joint practices as far as fights between the teams? Or was it all just normal training camp stuff where nothing got too out of hand from your view?) – “I think a lot of the fights happened when I was on the field, so I wasn’t necessarily paying attention to what exactly was happening. But I mean, at the end of the day, you never want to see fights. At the end of the day, each team, we’re going to protect each other at the end of the day. So some of that you respect and then other parts of it you want to come in and get to work so all of us can get better. I’m sure both teams, you always want to know that your teammates are going to protect you, but at the same time we want to make sure we get our work.”

(It seems like the second day of joint practices there is usually more of an edge. I know this is the only week you’re going to have two of them. Is two of them too many? Is one joint practice enough for you to see another team?) – “As much as I can say no, I can also see that a lot of the times the second day is usually that day. I’ve been a part of some practices where the first day is the same way. I think it’s a part of football. You got the 1% of guys that it takes a certain mentality to get here, so if you put that many guys on the field at one time, some things are bound to happen. By the end of the day, if you can keep it at a minimum and we can come out here and get good work against a different opponent – at the end of the day, I love it. Just in that mist of you getting into that process of training camp and to be able to go against a different jersey, a different group of guys, different offense, it’s definitely fun.”

(TE Kyle Pitts, WR Drake London and RB Bijon Robinson, they have guys that can play receiver from different positions that have played running back and tight end. How does seeing different body types and skillsets from those groups lined up at receiver help you get better?) – “You always try to go against different type of guys to just work your whole skill, because it might take different techniques, different mindsets, different leverages whenever you’re going against different guys. It’s fun just to practice that, because throughout the season you’re going to get different body types, different skillsets and things like that. Being able to get that in practice as we get into the preseason and all the joint practices, it definitely prepares you going into the season.”

(What stood out to you amongst the young cornerbacks?) – “Who has stood out? All of them. (Jason) Maitre, he’s been making plays, Storm (Duck) has been making plays, Isaiah (Johnson) has been making plays. All of them man. They go out there and compete, and that’s what we say all the time. At the end of the day, we’ll coach up the technique and things like that, but just go out there and compete. You can see the growth that all of them are making, so it’s been fun.”

(After watching CB Ethan Bonner and being a teammate of him for about four months, what’s your conclusion on what he can be as an NFL player?) – “For me, he looks like a good football player. I wasn’t here last year; I didn’t see the type of player that he was last year but they talk so much about his growth. For me coming in, he looks more than just like a guy that can run, which he can, but he looks like a football player. Somebody that can come out there, set the edge, get his hands on the ball, so to me he looks like a complete football player.”
