Why Derwin James Jr. is Chargers’ best player

Los Angeles Chargers defensive back Derwin James is going into his ninth season with the team in 2026.

James has achieved a lot in his career with the Chargers after being the No. 17 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He has been an All-Pro in three of the last four seasons, which explains why he is the highest-ranked Charger on Pro Football Network's top 100 players list.
