Summary
Derek Stingley Jr. made history as a freshman, and he had no idea. He had no idea that his Consensus All-American honors were the first by a true freshman defensive player in college football history, or that he joined only Herschel Walker, Adrian Peterson, and Rondale Moore as first-year players to make three of the five All-American squads. That's because Stingley doesn't look back, unless he's studying film. Even that, with everything else he does, is about getting better. It's all about the next play.
Stingley joins the podcast today to talk about his historic 2019 season, how he's managed to stay on his game during COVID-19 lockdown, and what's up his sleeve for 2020. Over the course of the conversation, you'll hear a young man who isn't just physically gifted. He's also wise beyond his years, a craftsman and a student of the game.
