Derek Stingley Jr. is the first cornerback I've ever met who is not excited to talk about his best plays. He might be the first cornerback I've ever met who isn't excited to talk, period.
We sit together in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, where the Houston Texans have spent a week in training camp hidden from the blistering Texas sun, watching some of what I consider his most impressive moments. Eventually, I ask for his favorite interception of his career. He shrugs, rubbing his beard with a long ummmm in his characteristic deep Louisiana drawl.
