Nearing a return from injury, the Pro Bowl safety plays Santa Claus and hands out watches and chains to his fellow defensive backs and the coaching staff
COSTA MESA — Derwin James Jr. arrived bearing expensive gifts Friday. He played the role of Santa Claus without actually dressing the part, handing out watches and personalized chains for his fellow defensive backs and also for the Chargers’ coaching staff.
“Christmas love, Christmas spirit,” the star safety said of offering one gift or the other to his teammates and coaches. “One of the best holidays of the year. Why not share it with your brothers?” While one side of the Chargers’ locker room was basking in the glow of the heavenly gifts, the other was in an uproar. The Chargers’ wide receivers took one look at the watches and chains and wondered when or if veteran teammate Keenan Allen would come through for them, too.
“Keenan is a bad vet,” James said, breaking out in laughter. “He didn’t get his young receivers anything. He ought to be ashamed of himself.”“I’m feeling amazing,” James said. “I’m feeling better.”
