The Seattle Seahawks drafted Toledo cornerback Andre Fuller with the 236th pick of the NFL Draft in the seventh round. Defensive back was a strong theme with Seattle’s 2026 draft class as they wanted to reassure the depth of the squad after losing Riq Woolen and Coby Bryant in free agency. The team also selected Julian Neal in the third round prior to this pick.
Fuller played three seasons of college football with Toledo. After two years of modest production in 2022 and 2023, Fuller missed the entire 2024 season. 2025 was a massive year for him and he really produced. In his entire college career, he totaled 78 combined tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 1 sack, and 16 passes defended.
GettyAndre Fuller was a proper pick in the seventh round value wise.
PFF ranked Fuller as the 225th overall prospect in the NFL Draft. However, his grades in 2025 were excellent. He received a 80 coverage grade and a 89.8 run defense grade. Head coach Mike MacDonald had to have adored Fuller’s tape in run defense. He scored a 84.4 man coverage grade and a 70.9 zone coverage grade.
Dane Brugler of the Athletic ranked Fuller as the 28th best cornerback prospect in the NFL Draft and a gave him a round 6 to 7 grade. While noting Hall was only a one year starter as a cornerback at Toledo, Burgler also acknowledges that Hall really performed well. Burgler realizes that Hall has some development to follow to realize his potential, but he can become a solid cornerback in the NFL.
Brugler said, “Fuller has only adequate speed and plays with grabby tendencies, but he is a good-sized athlete who has smooth transitions and confidence in coverage to make plays on the football.”
GettyAndre Fuller tested out as an elite cornerback in terms of athleticism.
Fuller earned a 9.04 RAS Score after testing at the NFL Combine and the Toledo pro day. He has a great height (6’1”) and weight (between 200 and 202 lbs) for an NFL cornerback. His speed scores were good after running a 4.49 40 yard dash, 2.62 20 yard split, and a 1.56 10 yard split. His explosion and agility drills were successful as well. He had a 35” vertical jump, a 10’9” broad jump, and a 4.28 second shuttle cone drill.
