## Resource

Derwin James Jr. is rewriting the safety position playbook, earning elite praise for his unstoppable versatility. Last season, he dominated near the line of scrimmage, proving his best year yet—rushing the passer, stopping the run, locking down receivers, and covering deep zones with elite range. After overcoming early injuries, he’s been a rock for three seasons, playing 16 games each year and racking up five interceptions, 21 passes defended, 9.5 sacks, and 21 tackles for loss. Whether blitzing or playing nickel, he’s the ultimate defensive coordinator’s dream—adaptable, durable, and consistently elite. With his former coordinator gone, James is firing on all cylinders, cementing his status as one of the NFL’s most valuable defensive weapons.
