On May 9, 2014, exactly five years ago today, the Bears were coming off an 8-8 debut campaign under rookie head coach Marc Trestman. The previous night, the Bears spent the 14th overall pick on the quiet but confident West Virginia CB Kyle Fuller. After one month of his rookie season, Fuller appeared poised to build on the legacy of his predecessor, Charles Tillman, whom he literally replaced that magical night in San Francisco. After one full season, he was an All-Rookie performer, but the Bears were tearing everything down and abandoning the scheme and coaches Fuller was picked for. Entering his contract season, confidence seemingly renewed, Fuller became a tape junkie and unequivocal believer in what Fangio was teaching.
