Derwin James has been a special player since the Los Angeles Chargers drafted him in 2018. With four All-Pro selections and four Pro Bowls, his resume speaks for itself. However, he also has a head coach who isn’t shy about reminding the world how great he is. Jim Harbaugh has been James’ biggest fan since taking over as head coach in 2024.
While Harbaugh is always effusive in his praise for James, he took things to another level on Wednesday. Reminding everyone that he said James is the best safety he’s ever been around, the head coach took it a step further and said the veteran defender is actually the best football player he’s ever been around.
