## Resource

Derwin James Jr. just made The Athletic’s top ten most versatile players list—and for good reason. Since being drafted in 2018, he’s evolved into a defensive force who does it all: 94 tackles, 7 passes defended, 2 sacks, 6 tackles for loss last season, plus 3 interceptions tying his career high. He’s shifted closer to the line of scrimmage, becoming a disruptive force with 7 sacks, 16 TFLs, and 4 interceptions in the last two seasons. PFF confirms he’s spending 419 snaps near the line—maximizing his impact. After injury struggles, he’s been a consistent anchor, playing 16 games in each of the last three seasons. With five interceptions, 21 passes defended, 9.5 sacks, and 21 TFLs, James proves he’s a nightmare for offenses—able to rush, cover, and drop back—making him the Chargers’ true defensive cornerstone.
