Star Cornerback Kendall Fuller has been signed to the Fins for a two-year contract after playing three years and some change for the Washington Commanders.
Star Cornerback Kendall Fuller Takes Talents to South Beach
After spending his early years with the Washington Commanders and two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Fuller is now moving on to Miami for a two-year deal worth $16.5 million. After Xavient Howard’s exodus from the Dolphins, Fuller has been chosen to take his place. He is perhaps best known for his game-winning interception in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIV.
The 28-year-old phenom and the AFC champs Chiefs demolished the NFC champs, the San Francisco 49ers, well within the fourth quarter. The Chiefs soon won, with the final score tallying up at 31–20. and earning him a Super Bowl ring in the process.

On the topic of interceptions, he has been able to nab quite a lot throughout his professional career. According to NBC News, he was able to attain 16 in total throughout his career. His career will be an asset to the Dolphins as they didn’t have the best playoff season right last year. Per NBC Sports, Fuller has recorded a whopping 75 passes and finished his own 2023 season with nine passes defensed, two interceptions, and a pair of fumble recoveries. Fuller was recently ranked 8th on Pro Football Focus’ “Highest Graded Cornerbacks of 2023” with a modest score of 83.1.
Fans Weigh In on The Fins Signing Kendall Fuller
Miami ushering in star cornerback Fuller has led to a mixed reception online. Many fans are ecstatic that his talents will lead to the Dolphins pulling in more wins. However, others have been swift showcasing their distaste for the Virginia Tech graduate.
“The Miami Dolphins just signed Kendall Fuller, the BEST cornerback in the free agent market,” noted Degenerate George on X, formerly known as Twitter. They went on to share one of his hallmark plays. The star cornerback fumbles a Pick 6 interception then gets another one right after to score a touchdown for Washington!
