When Derwin James blew the NFL Combine away earlier this year nobody thought he’d fall to the No. 17 overall selection.
He’s a great talent coupled with several teams in the first round with a huge need at safety, so it was logical that one of them would select him right?
Wrong! But nothing should surprise us with how clueless most NFL GM’s are and why only a handful of teams contend for playoff spots each year.
Tampa Bay passed on him twice, Green Bay, Oakland and Arizona passed on him too. Right now, Tampa Bay has the worst pass defense in the NFL as teams are completing 72 percent of their passes against them.
