It didn’t take long for former LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton to make an impact in the NFL for the Tennessee Titans.
In Tennessee’s 33-30 overtime win over Jacksonville on Sunday, Fulton picked off a Gardner Minshew pass midway through the first quarter and returned it over 40 yards.
The Titans finished the drive with another score as quarterback Ryan Tannehill connected with Corey Davis to put Tennessee up 14-0.
Fulton, who was the No. 61 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, was considered by many to be a first-round talent. He missed part of training camp with an injury, which led to him opening the season in a backup role.

Fulton played in 59 percent of the snaps for the Titans on Sunday and recorded three tackles along with his first career interception. He played 24 snaps in Week 1.
With Adoree Jackson and Johnathan Joseph both battling injuries, Fulton could see even more playing time moving forward.
