Kendall Fuller, the fourth of four brothers to reach the NFL, is making the most so far of his second stint with the Washington Football Team.

The 26-year-old cornerback led the team in tackles in its 30-29 win over the New York Giants on Sept. 16, and will be relied on Sunday, Sept. 26, when Washington travels to Buffalo, N.Y., for a 1 p.m. kickoff against the Bills.

Fuller had eight tackles (seven solo) against the Giants, including a sack. He added one pass deflection and another hit on the quarterback as Washington improved to 1-1.

This is Fuller’s second stint at FedEx Field.

He was a third round draft choice in 2016 out of Virginia Tech and showed much promise with D.C. Then in 2019, he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for Chiefs quar- terback Alex Smith. That trade went wrong for Washington when Smith suffered a major leg injury.

The highlight of Fuller’s tenure in Kansas City was making a game-clinching interception in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in February 2020 over the San Francisco 49ers.

Fuller came back to Washington March 23, 2020, as a free agent, signing a four-year contract for $40 million.

A year ago, Fuller helped Washington to the NFC Eastern Division title and was a key to the defense that ranked second in NFL in yards allowed.

From Baltimore, Fuller is the fourth of Nina Dorsey-Fuller’s and Vincent Fuller’s extremely athletic sons. All starred at Virginia Tech before being drafted into the NFL.

The other NFL Fullers:

Vincent II: Safety; played with Tennessee Titans 2005 to 2010, and with Detroit Lions and New England Patriots in 2011.

Corey: Wide receiver; played with Detroit Lions 2013 to 2016 and New Orleans Saints 2016-17.

Kyle: Cornerback; played with Chicago Bears 2014 to 2020; currently with Denver Broncos.

The Fullers are only the second family to send four brothers to the NFL. The first was the Browners, Jim, Joey, Keith and Ross.
