Los Angeles Chargers star safety Derwin James certainly has his respect around the league. 

It goes beyond the multiple pro bowls and pair of first-team All-Pro selections, too—just ask Buffalo Bills superstar quarterback Josh Allen. 

A viral social media clip that surfaced recently featured Allen on a golf course getting asked who the hardest hitter in the NFL is. And without pretty much any hesitation at all, Allen said James’ name, almost with a laugh. 

Given what Chargers fans have seen over the years, it’s pretty easy to believe. And it’s one of the reasons an enforcer like James is embracing a bit of a role change under Jim Harbaugh and enjoying yet another stellar year, this time for one of the NFL’s best defenses.

Funnily enough, that play has a chance of pitting James against Allen and the Chargers against the Bills in the playoffs, too.
