NFL Combine - Day 4 — Griffin received a lot of support from people

#3 Derwin James (Safety, Florida State University)

Alabama v Florida State — Derwin James was Top 15 draft coming into the combine

Derwin James came to the combine with the reputation of being a freak of nature and he did his reputation no harm with another blistering performance in Indianapolis.

Being a safety is one of the toughest jobs in the NFL as you have to be fast and explosive while covering the wide receivers with a vertical jump of 41 inches and a 40-yard dash time of 4.48s, James showed that he was equipped with both.

There are also times when the safety has to take care of the running backs or blitz the quarterback in these situations the player's lower body and upper body strength are called into action with a broad jump of 11 feet and a bench press count of 21 reps, Derwin reminded people why he was one of the most hard-hitting safeties in college.

Derwin was a top-15 draft prospect coming into the combine and his performance only solidified his case for the draft on 26 April.
