What you see. 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: I'll give you the floor here on Derwin's game. Derwin 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: James is everything that you look for in the leader 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: of a defense. Uh. Not only is an outstanding playmaker, 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: not only the productive, but he's a charismatic high i 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Q football player that understands how to play the game. 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: When I look at him, it's not just the athleticism 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: and the physical traits that he brings to the position, 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: it's the other stuff. He kind of has the ingredients 29 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: to change the culture and the locker room kind of 30 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: reminds me of when I looked at the Sattle Seahawks 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: in their Hey they when the Legion of Boom was 32 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of making their way. The same impact that Cam 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: Chancellor had on that team. I believe Derwyn James can 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: have on another team just because he's big, he's physical, 35 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: he's a leader, and he just kind of brings it 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: every time he steps into the field. Yeah to me, look, 37 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: the first two times I was around him, I got 38 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: a chance to go see him up at the opening. 39 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: What you do with with the Nike group and they 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: take all those high school kids, top high school kids 41 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: in the countree watch him around those kids. I want 42 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: to get your opinion on that time as well. In 43 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: just a second, that was the first of my son. 44 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: And then I want to Florida State practice. Uh this summer, 45 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: got a chance to be around him there. And if 46 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: you're gonna ask me for a comp for Derwin James, 47 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: it's the energizer bunny. I mean, he has got so 48 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: much energy, He's passionate, he loves football. I think that's 49 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: a key ingredient for a leader on that side of 50 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: the ball, especially on defense. I think in terms of 51 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: how you use him, I think that's up to debate 52 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: when you talk to folks around the league. I know 53 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: he can play as the high safety. I don't like 54 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: him there. I want him closer to the line of scrimmage. 55 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: I think coach even we'll talk about that a little 56 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: bit later on in the episode. You get a chance 57 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: to hear the opinion of Charles Kelly in terms of 58 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: how he would be used. I think you'll be fascinated 59 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: by that. Um, I just think box safety. You mentioned 60 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor functioned in that role. I even think if 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: you want to make him a space linebacker, will linebacker, 62 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: if you play with two high safeties and you want 63 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: a whole player underneath there, I think he can do that. 64 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he allows you do so many different things. 65 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: The big knock on him, Buck the lack of ball 66 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: production is probably the biggest knock on him. But I've 67 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: seen examples of him being able to locate and play 68 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: the ball. I think he located and played the ball. 69 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: But I just believe he's a guy that is a 70 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: C ball kut ball playmaker. I think you put him 71 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: within the box and you allow him to hunt running backs, 72 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: you allow him to bless a case and off the edge. 73 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: You just allow him to find the football and you 74 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: kind of do it without restraint. He is the kind 75 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: of player that he's going to make a number of 76 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: plays just because his instincts are so superior that you 77 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: just don't want to hold him back. Darwin James should 78 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: be a star at the next level because he has 79 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: all the things that you look for intangibles and physical 80 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: tools to be an exceptional player. Tell me a little 81 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: bit more about the kid. I know you've been around 82 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: him a good bit at these at these camps, you know, 83 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: I haven't been around Derwin since he was seventeen eighteen, 84 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: I can tell you that he is one of the 85 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: best football players and young people that I've been around. 86 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Loves the game, passionate about the game, spends a lot 87 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: of time working on the game, and he has the 88 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: ability to communicate what he sees and what is about 89 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: to happen to his teammates. And so as you're looking 90 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: at safety these guys who are quote unquote traffic cops, 91 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: when James checks off all the boxes. If I could 92 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: compare him to somebody just from a leadership standpoint, he's very, 93 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: very similar to the way that Jamal Adams goes about 94 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: his business. And we saw the impact that Jamal Adams 95 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: made on the New York Jets as a rookie. Derwin 96 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: James should be able to make a similar impact for 97 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: any team that he goes to. Yeah, I struggle to 98 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 1: find a comparison just because of how big and fast 99 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: and explosive he is. I guess Kian O'Neil. I think 100 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: he's a better version of Kian O'Neil. Uh that one 101 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: comes to mind makes a little more sense to me. 102 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: But I mean, look, he's he's a faster cam Chancellor. 103 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: He's a more explosive Kian O'Neil. This is a good 104 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: company to be keeping. I'll be surprised people say, what's 105 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: his upside? Luck? Yeah, how is this guy not a 106 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: pro bowler at the next level? I think he has 107 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: to be a pro Bowl like based on what he 108 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 1: has bar and injury, he should be a pro Bowl player. 109 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: I think he's a difference maker. To me, he changed 110 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: the culture of your locker room when he steps in. 111 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: He has a winning pedigree, and I think he is 112 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: going to man a lot of his teammates and that's 113 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: ultimately going to raise the level of play on that 114 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: side of the ball. All Right, you ready to take 115 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: this thing back old school, man, Let's do it. All right, 116 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: let's take this thing old school and my old school. 117 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to go all the way back 118 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: to Haines City High School in Florida, and we're gonna 119 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: get a chance to visit with the head coach at 120 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: the time, Derwin James.

You know, as soon as 139 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: we started to speak to each other, I knew what 140 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: type of caliber kids, um that I had.

And 144 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: he was a great kid, a great young man coach. Obviously, 145 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things people rave about Derwin 146 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: James in terms of his leadership ability. What kind of 147 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: leader was he for you? With the young guys? He was? 148 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: He was a great leader. You know. He was a 149 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: kid that never made anybody feel that they was under him. 150 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: He made everybody in that locker room feel like they 151 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: was five star athlete. He has one of the best 152 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: leadership skills I've ever seen. You know, he never made 153 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: anybody feel like there wasn't a good athlete. He made 154 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: everybody feel that they could play at the top of 155 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: their level. And it showed, you know. And when he 156 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: went to Florida, they it's so there he was. He 157 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 1: is so important to any football team that he becomes 158 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: a part of. And I send the time and time again. 159 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: He is a diamond.

And you know, I watched some film 216 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: on him. I think he was at Auburndale or I 217 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: think Hain't City where he played basketball to us well 218 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: over there with us. And he's an athlete, you know, 219 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: he was good at basketball, but football was his thing, 220 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: and he stayed forward on their football.

No, it was an honor for me 227 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: to be able to coach him and to let me 228 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: be a part of his growth. And I'm just so 229 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: excited for this young man right now. Coach down in 230 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: South Florida at Plantation High School. Yet a guy you had, 231 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: a guy named Ryan Share that you had an opportunity 232 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: to coach. I would like you to compare Derwin James 233 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: to Ship here in terms of his athleticism, their leadership ability, 234 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: or any of the trades that you see, uh that 235 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: they could be similar. You know, it's kind of hard 236 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: to compare, you know, to Ryan shay Z and Darrowin. 237 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: You know, each one of those guys are separate individuals, 238 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: separate type of athletes. Ryan Shazil was a very quiet kid. 239 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: You know, he led by example. You know, if he 240 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: did speak up, you knew about it. You know. Ryan, 241 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: like his freshman year, he had one facts, you know, 242 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: and Ryan ran I think he ran a four three four, 243 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: you know, and and and Derwin ran a four four. 244 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at how they are. It's almost, you 245 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: know the same when it comes to their athleticism, but 246 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: they're different type of young men and different type of athletes, 247 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: and they can Ryan right now is one of one 248 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: of the best linebackers that's in the NFL right now, 249 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: and I do believe Derwin would be that same caliber 250 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: of a kid. Coach, I, I can't thank you enough 251 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: for your time today.

Derwin is also coach Ryan Shay's here. 262 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: I mean, what high school coaches can say they've coached 263 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: two more athletic guys in that. I don't know many 264 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: that have the opportunity to have those kind of guys 265 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: on the deer tutelage. The big thing that I took 266 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: away from, you know, Coach Chapman talking about Derwin James, 267 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: just how he was all in, how he was willing 268 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: to buy in his ego, he was able to check 269 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: at the door and do anything for the sake of 270 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: the team. I think when NFL evaluateds hear that hear 271 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: those stories, I think they're gonna feel good about who 272 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: they're bringing it to the locker. Room because he is 273 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: a natural leader. Look folks around in the league in 274 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: personnel departments. Even some owners have listened to this three 275 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: sixties series over the years because they get this type 276 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: of insight going all the way back to high school. 277 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: Great stuff there from coach Chapman.

I mean he was so excited 327 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: and just supporting the teammates when he came off. Now, 328 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: another time he was actually, you know, playing in the 329 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: game is freshman year at Florida. We had in in 330 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: on on third day and doing some different stuff with him, 331 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: and every time he would make a play, he would 332 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: come on and just say, coach, call anything you want to, 333 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna get there. That's what kind of guy is Coach. 334 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: You obviously have some other competitive guys, like a guy 335 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: like Jalen Ramsey. Is there a way to compare and 336 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: contrast their leadership styles and their competitiveness. Because Jalen obviously 337 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: has been outstanding as a pro I think during would 338 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: be as well well. The one thing that he and 339 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey and Telvin Smith, you know, those were three 340 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: guys that I had the opportunity to coach while I 341 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: was at Florida State. And those three guys what they 342 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: have in common is when they go to practice every 343 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: single day, their mindset is that their opponent every day 344 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: in practice and it's not a vicious thing, but it's 345 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: I'm wan out of here today and I'm going to dominate. 346 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: And that all three of those guys had that same trade. 347 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: And it didn't matter whether it was a Monday practice, 348 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: Tuesday practice, or it was a walk through you know 349 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: on Friday, they were very intense about what they'd been 350 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: on a daily basis. That's exactly what you're looking for 351 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: from a defensive leader, no question coach. One of the 352 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: things with when jay Lo and he was coming out 353 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: there a little bit of a debate. Some folks always 354 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: a safety, others thought he was a corner with Derwin 355 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: because he's so dang athletic. And you were able to 356 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: use him in a variety of roles. If if if 357 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: you were pinned down, you I know, you're gonna get 358 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: calls from teams and that's what they do. If they 359 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: were gonna pin you down and say, hey, where do 360 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: you think would be the absolute best place for him 361 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: to play on the defense? Where would you would you answer? Be? 362 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: You know, my first my first thing would be safety 363 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: because I think he's so multiple. Um, I think you 364 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: can you know, they can play in the deep part 365 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: of the field. But uh, you know, I warned him 366 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: close to that ball as much as I could get. Uh, 367 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: the closer he was to that ball, he had born, 368 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, to me, he could affect the game. He 369 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: was a great blitzer. Uh, you know, he's just he 370 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: just has a knack for being able to get this quarterback. 371 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: But I think I think safety is his position. Um, 372 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's interest and I think he's he's one 373 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: of the few guys that you get the coach in 374 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: your career that you feel like he could be an 375 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: All American at a few different positions. I've told people 376 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: that before, Uh, he might be the only guy that 377 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: I've ever coached. And I feel like it started all 378 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: eleven positions on deepens and on coach upfront, and I 379 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: was like, well, you know, he might not sit in 380 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: there and and play three technique, but I'll promise you did. 381 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: You could move him and move around, He'd figure out 382 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: a way to win. He'd figure out a way to compete. Um, 383 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: He's just one of those guys that, uh, I think 384 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: can be successful out of positions. You mentioned that about Jalen. Yeah, 385 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people. There were some people 386 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: you know that UM or our staff at that time, 387 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: that I wasn't sure that he was a corner. And 388 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy can play anything he wants to play. 389 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: And I'm a firm believer that when you are multiple, 390 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: and I think Durwin understands this, Jalen understood it is 391 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: that when you're multiple in the things you can do, 392 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: you bring more value to your team, you know, And 393 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: and that's what helps teams win, is when you've got 394 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: guys that can do more than one thing. You know, Coach, 395 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: one of the things that we like to look for 396 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: from prospects, how do they handle critical moments when the 397 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: game is on the line. What kind of player? What 398 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: kind of leader is Derwin James? You know if you 399 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: if you had Durwin on if Durwin was on offense, 400 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: he would say, coud get me the ball. And you 401 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: know we always had saying that critical moments. Uh we 402 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: think players first, play second, and Durling were always you know, 403 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: he would always remember that and and say, all right, coach, 404 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: who they're gonna go to? Um, So he's one of 405 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: those guys or you know coach in the old Miss game, 406 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: uh two years ago, first game of the year is 407 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the game and Chad Kelly was 408 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: you know, they had the ball, had a chance to 409 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: drive and Derha was like, coach, I'll get there. I'll 410 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: get there, you know. So that gave me the cont 411 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: that say, let's you know, work this pressure right here. 412 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: And sure enough. Uh. He didn't always sack him, but 413 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: he was definitely affecting the guy. How is he's a 414 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: communicator on the field, coach. Very good he is. Uh. 415 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: Dirt was a very smart young man, very intelligent. Um 416 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: comes from a great family. Mom and dad are great 417 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: people and they were very supportive of not only a Darwin, 418 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: but they were supportive of the coaching. Um. You know, 419 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: so Darwin was taught to communicate in an at an 420 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: early age. So he you know when he's very personable 421 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: when you're around him. I mean he can walk in 422 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: the room and five minutes after you there, you feel 423 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: like you knowing Um. And so his teammates responded to him. 424 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: You know what is he as a communicator coach.

The best perspective that he 452 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: provided was how he acted on the sideline when he 453 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: couldn't participate that season when he was hurt, how he 454 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: was really engaged, how he's like another coach on the sideline, 455 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: coach on the field.

Derwin James is all that outside of 460 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: being a really really good football player, no outstanding football player. 461 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: Great insight there from from coach Kelly who is now 462 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: at the University of Tennessee. Wish him the best of luck. Now, 463 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: before the season started, Buck, we had a chance to 464 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: talk with the headman formerly at Florida State, now a 465 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: very very wealthy man at Texas An. Now that's coach 466 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: jimbo Fisher. Here's his thoughts on his star pupil. Coach, 467 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: you got a good one there and Derwin James. Uh, 468 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: we've become big fans here watching his tape and getting 469 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: to see him early on in his career there. How 470 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: how early in the recruiting process did you know you 471 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: had something special with Derwin? I thought pretty early we 472 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: really did have something because you just his naturally thinks 473 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: to play, you know, he such a hungry guy, was 474 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: very humble, and you never got caught up in the 475 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: recruiting party. Just kept getting better and better and you 476 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: could just see it on film With a guy like 477 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: Derwin James. I mean, how much of a challenge is 478 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: it for you because of his versatility just finding out 479 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: exact how you wanted to deploy him on your football 480 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: team when he got on campus. We want to just 481 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: say what he did one position, let him get that 482 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: down and then started you know, working away. And what 483 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: we didn't know at the time, which is amazing about him, 484 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: was his intelligence level and ability to learn and best information, 485 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: you know, coach, and thinking about that safety position and 486 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: how its involved in wonder more important positions on defense. 487 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: His ability to come down and bliss off the airs, 488 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: to play in the deep middle, to play tight ends. 489 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: How rare is it defined someone that can do those things. 490 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: It's extremely rare. I mean, because the guys are athletic enough, 491 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: aren't big enough. And the guys that are big enough 492 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: for an athletics and then the ones that have everything 493 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about intelligence level that's, you know, one of 494 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: the greatest I've ever been around. So when when you 495 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: put those packages together to do all those things are 496 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: very hard to find. How much does he love practice, coach? 497 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: If there's a bar on the field, he loves to play. 498 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't care where it is, what it is, if 499 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: he's in paths or whatever he's doing, he loves flat play. Coach. 500 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: How about from a leadership standpoint, where is he yet 501 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: in that development really high. And this is where a 502 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: crazy thing comes into play. Last year being hurt when 503 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: he got to stand back and see things to a 504 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: coach's eye. I think it's enhanced him as a player 505 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: ten times. You know, he is tenfold for being a leader. 506 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: You know. It's really let him see how all the 507 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: little things matter, and how you know that coaches don't 508 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: just depick and and he really he reiterates that to 509 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: his players so much, you know, and and looking at 510 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: his game because he's so dynamic, he's been terrific. Um 511 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: what is the one thing that you would say that 512 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: he could work on to really take his game to 513 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: the next level. You know, maybe just pure man to 514 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: man covers skills. But because he does so much, but 515 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: then he locks in and doesn't he does it. I 516 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: thought that, but then going to camp, I think I 517 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: want him to do. But he's gotten so much better 518 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: that he tackles well and this he plays the ball 519 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: in the deep part of the field so well, he 520 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 1: blisses and I mean, I just keep enhancing his knowledge 521 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: of the game and understanding. I think he don't rely 522 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: on dras leticism allowing your mind to make yourself even 523 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: that much quicker because I think it's which he's learning 524 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: to do, and then you're having a guy who's going 525 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: to be almost impossible to block. Coach, What's what's the 526 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: secret sauce down there at Florida State in terms of 527 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: the number of guys you guys have been churning out lately. 528 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: I know you a lot of teams go out there 529 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: and recruit these these highly rated players. But in the 530 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: development process and the way the mentality you've been able 531 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: to instilling these guys, you know what's one of those keys. 532 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: Maybe we don't realize from the outside of why Florida 533 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: State has been churning out so many great NFL players. Well, 534 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: two things. We run a process upon office and defense. 535 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: So the multiplicity of having to think and understanding the 536 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: game of football, you have to understand it. I think too, 537 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: and I know this sounds crazy. We threw a very 538 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: physical practicing team. We do good on good doing a 539 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: week week after and the competition level about the guy 540 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: across the ball from you makes it so much more 541 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 1: easier to develop because you if you come u doing 542 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: not ready practice, somebody embarrass you. Coach Fisher, by the way, 543 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: but congratulations to him on the new deal. No big deal. Yeah, 544 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: everything is bigger in Texas, no question. But look, he 545 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: knew he had something special on Derwin James. No, no 546 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: surprise to him. No, not a surprise at all. I 547 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: think coaches really identified UH their alphad leaders very very quickly, 548 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: Derwin James. Uh, it drips off him in terms of 549 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: that leadership ability. UH coach Fisher had an opportunity to 550 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: coach it for three years. He had to be excited 551 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: about what he was able to do for him in 552 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: a program. This has been fun. Like We've talked to 553 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: his high school coach, We've got a chance to talk 554 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: to his college defensive coordinator, his college head coach.

I 660 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: ain't coming to send on the bench and I'm coming 661 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: to play and contribute early. And um, I know, I 662 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: know I want to be all pro safety and I 663 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: just feel like help my team in the best week. Well, 664 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: cool man, I'm really excited for you. We're excited to 665 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: see you grow as a player and as a young man. 666 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: Best of luck to you on your journey as a pro. Joke, 667 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Buck. You can uh, you can 668 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 1: definitely feel Derwin James. I think we say that all time. 669 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: Why don't you trying to explain that when you can 670 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: feel somebody? Why am I talking about physically touching them? 671 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: But you can definitely feel them. Oh, you feel when 672 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: they're walk in the room, they have a presence about them. 673 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: The leaders kind of let it be known that they're 674 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: the leaders of the pack. That just kind of falls 675 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: in line. When you watch Derwin James in any setting 676 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: with other people, he is the leader. He is the 677 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: one that everyone kind of falls in line. When you 678 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: watched him at the combine, you saw he was the 679 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: leader of the group. He leaves not only uh vocally verbally, 680 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: he also leads by the way he goes about his business. 681 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: And I think as you're beginning to build a team 682 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: and you think about changing the culture in your locker room, 683 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: those are the guys that get it done. Because you 684 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: always want your best players to be your hardest workers. 685 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: Derwin James is that and because of that, he's gonna 686 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: be a special player at the next level. I agree 687 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: with you completely. All right, let's uh, let's find a 688 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: fit for him here. What team makes a lot of 689 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: sense for Derwin? Team that makes a lot of sense, uh, 690 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: in my mind would be the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys 691 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: have been looking for a difference maker between the hashes. 692 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: They haven't had one since Darren Woodson left years and 693 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: years ago. You could save Roy Williams, but Derwin James 694 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: is the kind of guy that can come down in 695 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: the box and he will rock and roll with the 696 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: best of them. You think about where this team is 697 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: and how this team typically falls apart when Shawan Lee 698 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: is out. You need to have a leader, because I 699 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: don't know who their leader is without Sean Lee. This 700 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: guy comes in. I think he is the one that 701 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: kind of helps the Cowboys right the ship and finally 702 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: finally do what they expect to do down in Deltas. 703 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: I like that one. How about Tampa Tampa picking up 704 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: the top ten number seven? I think you can use 705 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: Derwin in a variety of ways, but just give him 706 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: an impact player there on the back end. The other 707 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: one I wrote down, how about the San Francisco forty Niners. 708 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: I think Jimmy Garoppolo we've already seen in a brief 709 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: amount of time, especially when that miked up series got 710 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: a Chancellor. He's alpha dog. So you got alpha dog there. 711 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: Now we'll see what happen with Reuben Foster. We know 712 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: how special talent is has some issues. You don't have 713 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: any of those issues with Derwin James. You get you 714 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: get an alpha dog in that secondary room. To go 715 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: along with Richard Sherman, who you just brought in. You've 716 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: got an edge, serious edge on this defense. You're recreating 717 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: some of the stuff that they had up in the 718 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest with Richard Sherman and Camp Chancellor. You saw 719 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: the impact that they had and turning around that franchise. 720 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: Maybe they get the young version of Camp Chanceling Derwin James. 721 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: They gotta come up with a new name. Thought, can't 722 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: can't do that any come up with something. I don't 723 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: know what you got. I want to put it on 724 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: me put it. We'll take some time. We'll think about 725 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: that one. Well, we'll get that right in the meantime. 726 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: Wyn't you tell the folks about this three sixty series, Buck, 727 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: This is Derwin James. A lot of fun digging at 728 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: his background given our evaluation. But he's one of many 729 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: of these three sixty episodes we're doing. Yeah, one of many. 730 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: We're looking to talk to all of the top guys 731 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: in this draft.
