Chargers safety Derwin James was named an AP second-team NFL All-Pro for the second consecutive season. James, at slot cornerback, finished with 18 first-place votes and 19 second-place votes from 50 AP voters. Philadelphia's Cooper DeJean made first-team All-Pro at the slot corner position.

While James is a chess piece all over the field, he played the most at slot corner this season. It's his second nomination with that distinction specifically. James played 385 snaps at slot corner in 2024 and 351 snaps there in 2025.

Derwin James might have more contract leverage over the Charger now.
