The Seattle Seahawks may have found a diamond in the rough in the 2026 NFL Draft. With their seventh-round pick (No. 236 overall), the team selected Toledo cornerback Andre Fuller—a player many analysts believe should have been off the board much earlier.

General manager John Schneider has a history of uncovering late-round gems, and Fuller fits the mold perfectly. He played in a stacked Toledo secondary alongside second-round safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and his 2025 stats speak for themselves: 49 tackles, a team-high 11 pass breakups, and an interception. That kind of production doesn't happen by accident.

What really sets Fuller apart is his size and length—traits the Seahawks have always prioritized at cornerback. At the NFL Combine, he measured in at 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, with 30.75-inch arms and 9 ⅜-inch hands. He also showed impressive athleticism, running a 4.49-second 40-yard dash, leaping a 35-inch vertical, and hitting a 10-foot-9 broad jump.

So why did he fall to the seventh round? Two factors likely played a role: his small-school background at Toledo and a 2024 injury that may have given some teams pause. But for a team like Seattle, which needed to bolster its cornerback depth after losing Riq Woolen to free agency, Fuller's upside was too good to pass up.

Don't be surprised if Fuller outperforms his draft slot. With his combination of size, speed, and on-field instincts, he has all the tools to become a steal for the Seahawks—and a player to watch in training camp.
