Tremendous accomplishment for Derek.
He’s in the NFL history books as a drafted player. No one can take that away from him.
Congratulations Twinmom! You raised a fine young man and I will be rooting for his success in the NFL.

Four guys of Dana’s team drafted. Great job CDH and staff coaching these guys up. Also, thanks for the last two years recruiting that are 2 of the best over the last 10 years.
Things are looking up. Go Coogd

We lived in Jax when my husband was stationed at Mayport in the early 90s. Jax just got their NFL franchise the last year we lived there and the town went nuts buying merchandise!!

Derek is going to be a fan favorite in Jacksonville. He has the potential to be their JJ Watt.

Giena, what did your husband do? I assume he was in the navy, being stationed in Mayport. When we came back from Viet Nam we stopped in Mayport to let off the air wing before going to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for repairs. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard was actually in Portsmouth - weird.
