Fuller drafted by the Bears

By: Chris Coleman | Lead Analyst and Columnist

Kyle Fuller was selected with the 14th overall pick by the Chicago Bears in the 2014 NFL Draft.

As expected, Fuller was taken in the first round, and as rumored, he didn’t make it past the first 15 picks before coming off the board.  He will join the Chicago Bears and he will be expected to contribute immediately for a team with playoff aspirations.

Fuller will have a nice rookie contract for being such a high selection…

Fuller was a second team All-American by Walter Camp this past season, and ACC coaches voted him First Team All-ACC.

Only four Hokies have been drafted higher than Fuller.  Bruce Smith and Michael Vick both went #1 overall, DeAngelo Hall was selected #8, and Eugene Chung was the #13 overall pick.

  1. Congrats to Kyle, great kid, humble but talented and confident on the football field. I see his best
    football in front of him as he steps up his game on the highest level. “Da Bears”

  2. Comment on draft broadcast about a corner back picker late in the first round; “he doesn’t tackle well.”

    Fortunately Kyle Fuller does tackle well; one more reason he was picked so high. You can just stop a rival; you have to bring him to the ground.

  3. Congrats KF!! Good guy, great player, he’ll be a great addition to the bears.

  4. I’m a Vikings fan, so, I’m sad to see that a different NFC North Team drafted Kyle. However, I am always happy for any Hokie who is drafted!

    1. Vikes fan here as well. I’ve rooted for Boykin with the Pack so I don’t mind rooting for Fuller also. Hopefully his biggest games aren’t against us. Heck, I even was excited when Vick ripped off that ridiculous run earlier in his career to beat the Vikes in OT.

  5. The thing about all the Fullers is that you know that none of them will ever do something stupid off the field to embarrass themselves, their family, their team or their university. Kyle came in somewhat unheralded, but the Tech coaches helped him become a first round pick. Good luck to him!

  6. Congrats to Kyle Fuller and to VT. He was a great player before VT, but the coaches made him that much better!

  7. Very happy for him, hope he takes it easy on the Vikings, though. haha Kidding aside I hope he has a long and great career. He is a great example of a Hokie and we should all be proud.

  8. Never been a bears fan, but hope he does well. It is always nice to see. Good luck to him!

  9. So, that tweet – how are the predictive compensation amounts, so exact???

    1. The latest collective bargaining agreement simplified rookie pay and capped it. There will be no more Sam Bradford 50 Million Dollar contracts.

  13. Sounded like the TV guy in the video was saying ‘Cal’ Fuller — did anyone else hear that?
