Derwin James seems like a good businessman. James had an incredible rookie season where he was named a first team All-Pro. On Thursday the Pro Bowler announced that he is launching a newsletter:
You can even get 15% off your first purchase. That’s how you do it. I’m not sure if this is common, but it seems like a good way for players to continue to capitalize on their brand and profit.
The official gear includes a hoodie, two tees, a hat, and a long sleeve shirt. Prices vary from $30-$60.
James also has a blog on the site that he has updated four times since February 19th, when he first posted. Now it seems to be him reminiscing about this time last year when he went through the same draft process that over 300 kids are right now. Other than that, there is a media gallery as well. Check the site out for more info.
