2018 NFL Draft Profile: Derwin James, S Florida State

The Minnesota Vikings have an established culture of blue-collar football. Playing in a division where you see Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers twice a year, it is almost required to supply a defense with cornerstone players.

With the NFL Draft just over a month away, Minnesota will be zeroing in on the top prospects. Derwin James is one name that will continue to be linked to the Vikings as the draft approaches.

James is labeled a safety but he took on a much larger role while he played for Florida State. After a star-studded Freshman season, the nation highly anticipated a repeat performance for his Sophomore year in 2016.
