The Los Angeles Chargers today signed cornerback Kristian Fulton.
Fulton joins the Bolts after spending his first four seasons (2020-23) with the Tennessee Titans, who selected him in the second round (61st overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft. Fulton has started 37-of-41 regular-season games played, including starting his last 35 consecutive games. In the regular season, Fulton has recorded 150 tackles (116 solo), four interceptions, 25 passes defensed, a sack, a forced fumble and a recovery. He added a pair of games played in the postseason, making a start and posting six tackles (four solo).
In his second season with the Titans in 2021, Fulton set a new career high with a team-best 14 passes defensed in 13 starts, ranking inside the top-five among AFC defenders. That year, he added 40 tackles (30 solo) and picked off a career-best two passes. Fulton's efforts in 2021 helped Tennessee claim the AFC South Division title and secure the AFC's No. 1 seed in advance of the playoffs.
A native of New Orleans, La., Fulton capped his collegiate career by helping Louisiana State University to a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2019, starting all 15 games for the Tigers and earning second-team All-Southeastern Conference honors. Over his three seasons of action at LSU (2016, '18-19), Fulton appeared in 28 games (25 starts), registering 65 tackles, 25 passes defensed, two picks and a forced fumble.
