Chargers News: Derwin James Jr. says Jim Harbaugh has unmatched love for the game: ‘He’d die for it’

Derwin James Jr. is excited about his new head coach, Jim Harbaugh, and the impact he’s already having on the Los Angeles Chargers . As the team gears up for the upcoming season, James has noticed Harbaugh's intense passion for football, which he believes sets him apart from other coaches.

"He’d really die on the football field and be happy. As crazy as that sounds, he’s that much in it," James told Fox News Digital.

James appreciates Harbaugh's consistent messaging and leadership style. He feels that Harbaugh's approach is helping him grow as a leader on the team. The Chargers are coming off a disappointing season, and Harbaugh’s experience in both the NFL and college football gives him a solid foundation to turn things around.

"Every day you see it in his habits," he explained. "Every message is the same from every coach [on the staff]. It’s been amazing having him, and I’m pretty sure the more he coaches us, the more I’m going to learn and experience. I absolutely meant everything I said about that message."
