Marrero native, Kristian Fulton, looking forward to first season with Kansas City

MARRERO, La. (WGNO) – Kristian Fulton is no stranger to success.

The former LSU defensive back was a part of the Tigers’ 2019 national championship team.

Swapping the purple and gold for now, red and gold, Fulton is preparing for his first season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

“A winning organization and that’s one of my goals, is to win a Super Bowl”, says Fulton. “I feel like it was a great fit for my skill set moving forward and I feel like they’ll allow me to maximize my talents moving forward.”

Fulton is entering year 6 in the NFL and says his biggest area of growth has been a mature mindset.

“Because once you get to the NFL, everybody pretty much has the talent and physical attributes so growing mentally and seeing how I could be better. Being there for the guys coming up, so I have to give game to the younger guys coming in the league and stuff like that so I try to be mindful of the things that I’m doing around those guys and really leading my example.”

LSU currently has more than 50 former players on an NFL roster so seeing another Tiger across the sideline is common.

This season, Fulton will play against last year’s Rookie of the Year finalists – Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Jayden Daniels.

“You thrive when you go against the best so I’m looking forward to the opportunity and especially with those guys. I never got to go against Malik and Brian so I’m excited about it. They’re great young players in this league and I think it’s going to be great competition.”

After hosting his youth football camp this past weekend, the Marrero native’s goal is to show that football is bigger beyond the field.

“It’s something bigger out there for them. We want to motivate them, we want to educate them on the game and we also want them to compete and have fun.
