In a new NFL Mock Draft by CBS Sports’ Will Brinson, Derwin James is projected to go as high as No. 9 to the San Francisco 49ers.
The NFL Combine is just around the corner, and Derwin James is featured in 2018 NFL Draft prop bets to see just how high he could be drafted.
Speaking of James, he took to social media to officially announce his signing with Adidas.
Speed knows speed.

If you didn’t already catch it, Jalen Ramsey performed an official takedown of ex-Florida State recruiter Tim Brewster.
And it looks like head coach Willie Taggart agreed with him...peep the retweet.

Maria Taylor visited the football program a couple days back. She also took the time to meet with women’s hoops (among other athletes on campus).
