COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley is preaching patience when it comes to first-round selection safety Derwin James.
The Florida State product worked with the second unit at strong safety during the first week of organized team activities. Bradley said that's by design, giving James a better chance to pick up the defense at a slower pace.
"He's just learning right now," Bradley said. "Quite a bit of the package is in, and we just want to bring him along and see where he's at.
"For us, one of the top objectives in seeing these young guys is to see them play fast, see what they can do.
