DB Kendall Fuller
When stud rookie safety Juan Thornhill tore his ACL in the final regular-season game, it looked like a big blow to the defense. How many teams have one rangy deep safety that gives up less than a yard per coverage snap, let alone someone else who can step in?
Kendall Fuller stepped up in a big way throughout the playoffs, but specifically in the Super Bowl. Late in the game, he drove on a ball to try and end it and nearly had an interception. Later he’d get the interception to seal it. Fuller finished the game with three tackles, two passes defended and the game-winning interception. Check that play out down below.
World Champs!

He Moss’d the 49ers WR to get to this ball from his deep safety position. It was truly a special play on the grandest of stages.
