TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- As Florida State’s defense slipped to the bottom of college football early last season, there was one question that persisted.
Would it be different if an ailing Derwin James was on the field?
On Monday, the Seminoles were reintroduced to a defense led by the star redshirt sophomore, who is one of the country’s best players on that side of the ball. As Florida State opened spring practice, James took part in all team activities for the first time since a September knee surgery.
