Strengths
Versatile game-wrecker. Intimidating defensive presence. Very explosive and fluid in space. Aggressively plays the ball in the air. Solid in man-to-man coverage. Can excel at either free safety or strong safety. Had success in the box and close to the line of scrimmage. Good range in single-high zone coverage. Quality hands. Very physical. Excellent ball-carrier pursuit. Missiles to the quarterback as a blitzer. Loves football.
Weaknesses
Has less experience than some other safety prospects. Missed almost his entire sophomore season with a torn meniscus. A little slow diagnosing at times.

Conclusion
Derwin James is an explosive, hard-hitting safety that can play the run and pass. He’s also a high-character individual that should set the tone defensively and in the building.
Hmm before the season he was the top player according to many
I have to admit he’s a beast.
Seahawks will get him
better than Minka
James and Fitzpatrick are both awesome
