He has 7 tackles in his team\u2019s victory against the Raiders on MNF, and he deflected a pass that was picked off by a teammate in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> quarter. After the match, Harbaugh shared that Derwin was \u201cflying around\u201d during the whole game and labeled him as the best safety that he had ever seen in the history of the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Jim was then asked by reporters why he thinks that he should be put as the best on that list. The head coach answered that there is nothing that Derwin couldn\u2019t do at the highest level and revealed some things that he loves about his player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels like being around greatness daily, no matter if we train or have a match. That includes even the activities outside the field. Derwin is fantastic in any position in the secondary, and that\u2019s what makes him unique.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;The best safety I&#39;ve ever seen in the history of the National Football League.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Jim Harbaugh has some high praise for Derwin James \ud83e\udd29 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chargers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@chargers<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tFFT0nNTnr\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/tFFT0nNTnr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NFL (@NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL\/status\/1968034653346091252?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LA Chargers manager Jim Harbaugh talks very positively about his QB Justin Herbert since becoming his head coach last year, but the quarterback [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4225,"featured_media":495515,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[26799,17581],"news_category":[16703,14084],"gn_keywords":[26800,20619],"acf":{"news_source":"","link_picture":"","announce":"Harbaugh praised his safety in Los Angeles.","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/495514"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4225"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495514"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/495514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":495516,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/495514\/revisions\/495516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495514"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=495514"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=495514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
