The Washington Redskins finally brought one of their favorite players back home to D.C. this offseason. Kendall Fuller returned to Washington in free agency, signing a four-year deal with the team after being traded to the Kansas City Chiefs a couple of years back.
In his first chance to talk to the local media once again since returning “home” as he called it, Fuller discussed why he wanted to come back to Washington, what he learned while winning a Super Bowl with the Cheifs, and what he can do to help the Redskins reach those heights in Washington. Here are the best quotes from the interview.
