Derwin James Carrying High Hopes From Coaches
6 years agoLos Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James may just be a rookie first-round draft pick, but his defensive coaches are already heaping praise on him about his football IQ before Week 2 of the preseason has come along. James was a late starter in training camp, but his play in the first preseason game seemed confident and intelligent. James commented to reporters after the game that he didn't feel like the pro level was too fast for him, and the team will be leaning on him to help cement a defense that lost one of its stars in the first day of camp. With the Chargers pass rush in place, James could be just what the team needed to run a killer defense out there.
