Derwin James, the Chargers’ 30-year-old defensive Swiss Army knife, just cracked the top 17 of CBS Sports’ list of elite players over 30 — and he’s still dominating. With 94 tackles, 3 interceptions, and a knack for lining up anywhere from safety to linebacker, James has been instrumental in the Chargers’ top-five defense, helping them rank second in red zone stops and fourth in third-down defense. A five-time Pro Bowler and once a first-team All-Pro, he’s the heart of this unit. Meanwhile, teammate Khalil Mack (35) didn’t make the list — his sack numbers down to 5.5 last year — but he’s sticking around, chasing that elusive Super Bowl with the Chargers.
