Derwin James, safety, Florida State
Note to quarterbacks, running backs and receivers in the ACC: Don’t challenge Derwin James.
Danger, danger, danger (Steve Irwin voice).
Here are just a couple of examples of how dangerous it is to run James’ way, from his exceptional freshman campaign of 2015.

James’ freshman season was one for the books. He was everywhere. He finished with 91 tackles, 9.5 for loss, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two recoveries.
Last year was unfortunately cut short due to a knee injury. But James is fully healthy now and ready to unleash destruction once again on any offensive playmakers who’d dare come his way.
