Who is Derek Stingley Jr.? Everything you need to know about the best cornerback in the NFL draft
Спорт
Derek Stingley Jr., drafted by the Houston Texans #3 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, has been under the microscope since he burst onto the scene in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the Dunham School as a 9th grader in 2015. Signing with LSU long before he got his driver's license, Derek is the rare athlete whose humility grew as his accolades mounted. As a leader on and off the field, it was natural for Derek to want to play college ball in front of his hometown friends and family as an LSU Tiger.
After one of the most incredible freshman seasons on record, which included a unanimous All-American slection and a National Championship, Derek seemed to be on a glide path toward the NFL.
Then COVID hit, upsetting and shortening his 2020 season, which saw opposing teams throw less than 25% as many balls his way as they did in 2019. In 2021, Derek tore the lisfranc in his foot, which ultimately led to a season-ending surgery to repair it (but only after he tried to play on it for three games).
Derek's journey, of late especially, has not been easy - but he has been surrounded by an incredibly supportive family, which includes his father Derek Sr, sister Sanaa and high school Coach Weiner -- all of whom share their voices in this definitive pre-draft look into the young man's story.
Mad Rabbit, the leader in tattoo aftercare has partnered with Derek to share his truth ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft. As a brand Mad Rabbit looks to insire with stories of people who have chosen to BE BOLD, and Derek certainly fits that description.

That's right!! Thanks for commenting Celeste!
This guy is like the ideal football player, hope he surpasses Revis and those guys when its all said and done
Stingley is gonna be one of if not the best CB in the league! And I’m glad my Houston Texans got him! And whats cool for the Stingley family is that Baton Rouge is like a 3-4 hour drive from Houston. It’s not that far to drive.

Great question Tony, when we work with athletes before the draft, sometimes moms are a little anxious about talking about their sons just yet. Derek's mother is an incredible person and a huge part of why he's such a great athlete and young man!

Bad thing about Houston is they'll trade him in a couple years for a 4th round draft pick smh
