Florida State football, recruiting news: Could Derwin James play cornerback?

Football:

The ACC’s most versatile defender is back, healthy & ready to dominate at cornerback?

James played all his first-team reps at safety, then took all the second-team reps at cornerback. “All of a sudden, he’s breaking on balls, and after about a practice he looks like he’s been there forever,” Fisher said. “Maybe there’s a niche you can use him there when you have to.” “At safety, I’m the last line of defense.

I can’t look at the quarterback anymore. At corner, I have to look at the receiver.”
