Curtis Fuller
Special Teams Assistant
Second Season as NFL Coach
First Packers Season
Curtis Fuller, a former Green Bay Packers safety in 2003-04, has rejoined the team in 2009 as a special teams assistant coach.
Named to his position on Jan. 15, 2009, by Head Coach Mike McCarthy, Fuller spent the 2008 training camp with the Packers through the NFL's Minority Coaching Internship Program.
His previous NFL coaching position was in Oakland, where Fuller was a special teams quality control assistant for the Raiders in 2007. Last year, following training camp in Green Bay, he worked as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach for Plano East Senior High in Texas.
Prior to his year in Oakland, Fuller worked in the scouting department for the Dallas Cowboys, and he began his coaching career at his two alma maters, as a volunteer coach on defense at Texas Christian University and as the defensive coordinator at Fort Worth Christian High, where Fuller as a prep helped lead his team to an 11-3 record and second-place finish in the state polls in 1995.
A fourth-round draft choice of the Seattle Seahawks in 2001, Fuller played two seasons there before joining the Packers in 2003. In the 2003-04 seasons, he played 10 games in Green Bay as a reserve defensive back and special teamer before finishing his playing career in 2004 with the Carolina Panthers. He played a total of 42 games in his career, posting 52 tackles (39 solo). He also had one interception, with Seattle in 2002.
Fuller was a two-time All-Western Athletic Conference selection at TCU, where he was a key figure on a defense that led the nation in his senior season of 2000 by allowing only 245 yards and 9.6 points per game.
Fuller started 32 of 33 career games at TCU from 1998-2000 after transferring from Tyler (Texas) Junior College. He had three career interceptions for the Horned Frogs after posting nine during his one season (1997) at Tyler.
A conference all-academic pick at TCU, Fuller earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in liberal arts by the time he was drafted in 2001. He worked several years as an intern for Frito-Lay. During his college and pro playing career, Fuller also traveled multiple times to Mexico with high school youth groups to help construct churches and homes in small villages.
Born in Tyler, Texas, Fuller and his wife, Rachel, have two children, Carolina, 3, and infant son Anthony. In his spare time he enjoys playing golf.
