Fluker was a first-team All-SEC player and second-team All-American at Alabama in 2012.

Fluker played eight NFL seasons with stops in San Diego (2013-16), the N.Y. Giants (2017), Seattle (2018-19) and Baltimore (2020). He originally entered the NFL as a first-round pick (11th overall) by San Diego in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Fluker was a first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, selected No. 11 overall by the Chargers. After four seasons with the Chargers, he signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the New York Giants in 2017. He played in nine games for the Giants, starting six before hurting his toe in Week 11 and being placed on injured reserve.

Fluker then landed with Seattle, playing 10 games, including 9 starts, in 2018. He then signed a two-year, $9 million contract in March of 2019.
