Kristian Fulton

PRO: The Titans selected Kristian Fulton with the 61st overall pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The 5-foot-11 inch, 197-pound defender displays excellent speed when defending vertical routes and has the versatility to play both outside and in the slot. In his first three NFL seasons, Fulton appeared in 30 games with 26 starts and tallied 104 tackles, one sack, four interceptions and 20 passes defensed. The New Orleans, La., native helped guide Louisiana State to a CFP National Championship title as a senior in 2019.

•   Fulton and his older brother, Keith, opened an urban-wear boutique in Nashville called "The Trenches," in March 2021. The store, which is located on Buchanan Street, features a unique blend of fashion, footwear and art. None of the clothing brands in The Trenches are mainstream names. Instead, the store features rising designers from New Orleans and other cities across the country. A large variety of sneakers make up another part of the boutique's unique formula.
•   During the 2023 offseason, Fulton visited the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore., as a part of the NFL Career Tours initiative. The group of 15 players learned about the company's product development, marketing and branding, while touring Nike's state-of-the-art campus.

•   Fulton wears jersey No. 26 to fuel his competitive fire. "It just reminds me every day that I had eight corners selected before me," Fulton told the Official Titans Podcast. Two plus six equals eight, "So, if you add it up, it's a reminder for me every day."
•   His grandfather, Louis Fulton, passed away from coronavirus complications on April 6, 2020, just 18 days before Fulton was drafted.
