Pro Football Focus recently released their mid-season report on the nation’s best true freshman and earning the top spot was Florida State defensive back Derwin James (Haines City alum).
Pro Football Focus had this to say about James performance so far this season:
“One of the hottest players in the country, James has been a force on the FSU defense since taking over as starter in Week 6. His +17.0 overall grade ranks third among all safeties, including a +7.4 mark against the run that ranks 10th and a strong +2.8 grade against the run. James has also been a menace when rushing the passer, picking up two sacks, two hits, and six hurries on only 15 rushes.”
Through 8 games this season, James currently ranks third on the team in total tackles (39), third in pass break-ups (3) and is tied for first in forced fumbles (2). Against Syracuse (James’ third consecutive start of the season) on Oct 31, James led the team in tackles with 12 with a career high in solo tackles (7) and unassisted tackles (5).
