Falcons sign Jordan Fuller to enhance secondary defense

The Falcons have strengthened their defense by signing Jordan Fuller, according to reports. This move is seen as beneficial for both Fuller and the team. Fuller, 27, has played five seasons in the NFL, starting a total of 55 games with the Rams and the Panthers. He had a notable performance during the Rams’ Super Bowl run in 2021. While in Los Angeles, he played under current Falcons defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. During his time with the Rams, Fuller started 48 games. He recorded 279 tackles, 17 pass defenses, seven interceptions, and four forced fumbles. His familiarity with Morris is likely a key factor in this signing. However, there are concerns about Fuller’s health. He has faced hamstring issues that caused him to miss considerable time in 2022 and the last season. Last year, he was limited to nine starts and spent some time on injured reserve. Overall, this signing reflects Morris's vision for the Falcons' defense. While the connection with Fuller is important, the team's reliance on his availability remains a topic of caution.
