After two years starting at Florida State, Derwin James established himself as one of the top Safeties of the 2018 Draft, and he was the second one taken (17th Overall) by the Chargers, where his rookie year was so incredible that he was a First Team All-Pro and the runner-up for the Defensive Player of the Year.
Blessed with a high football IQ and versatility at the Safety position, James’ ascent was derailed in his sophomore year with right foot issues that held him to five Games, and he lost his third season (2020) with knee issues. Despite the ailments, James bounced back in 2021 and recorded over 100 Combined Tackles each season from 2021 to 2023 and was a Pro Bowler three times in four seasons.
James begins the 2025 season as the top Defensive Back in L.A., and could potentially be a top-twenty all-time Charger.
