Los Angeles Chargers star Derwin James took a unique approach to his 2024 offseason.
James trained with the United States Coast Guard for a day as part of Whistle's I Could Do That series.
The three-time Pro Bowl safety discussed the parallels between football and training with the U.S. Coast Guard.
"You may have a plan coming into it, but the plan may alter - everything can change in one play," James said. "Be in control of your mind, trust your training and trust the techniques that were taught to you."
He participated in pursuit training and flew in a helicopter as part of a search and rescue training exercise.
