Professional career
Scott Fulhage went undrafted in 1987 after a very successful college career and was signed in the off season by the Cincinnati Bengals. Fulhage was part of the 1988 Cincinnati Bengals team that made a run to Super Bowl XXIII, where the Bengals fell to the San Francisco 49ers 20-16. In the Super Bowl, Fulhage punted 5 times for 221 yards. Fulhage was considered one of the most consistent punters in 1989, leading the NFC with 24 punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line, and finishing third in the NFL with 84 attempts. In 6 years of playing in the NFL, Fulhage successfully completed one fake punt against the San Francisco 49ers, a 12-yard pass for a successful first down, in the 1989 season during his time with the Atlanta Falcons. Fulhage is also credited with two rushing attempts, during the 1989 and 1992 seasons, but gained a total of 0 yards. Although he started with a slow career he picked up the pace.[3] The remainder of his statistics show consistency and a solid history as a punter, with only one fumble in those six years. He played in 88 games, punted 399 times for a total of 16,513 yards (averaging just over 41 yards per punt) with a long of 65 yards.
