up and play great cause once this guy gets time it will be hard to bench him. If one of either Shawn or George
go down due to injury the only thing i think we might lose is big hits but he did lay out a USC guy in one of
those vids. Tackling is my only question with Derron.


Great hands no question. Looks like Derron could be very versatile. I expect him to make a big impact this
year on ST's. He can be a Returner in a pinch and backup ballhawking Safety.

Dont' know if he can run routes but with his hands he might be able to play a little WR, who knows.

I wasn't sure about his tackling either when there were a lot of sceptics questioning his angles and such.... but I remember Carrier saying (After the draft) that one of the things they loved about him was that he was a sure tackler. He had over 300 tackles at Fresno State over 90 his last year..... I don't know how many he missed but he sure seems to be around the ball.
