- 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.

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 points all around Jonathan, we couldn't be more excited for him!

AND YOU KNOW!!
Damn, I was hoping he came to Bama!
I was wrong about this kid I was worried about his injuries thinking he would end up like will fuller 5 all the injuries never got to be the great player we all knew he could be. I'm apologize
Never too late to apologize Maile, you're a great person!
H town 🚀
But where was mom for the video??? Just saw a picture of her
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!
Lowkey look like lil durk
hes going to the vikings
Best cornerback in draft Sauce IMO
Facts
Giants 🔵👀
seahawks 🤝
Bad thing about Houston is they'll trade him in a couple years for a 4th round draft pick smh
An to be honest with you u might be right I'm from Houston an this is the history behind this organization they draft decent talent then when it's time to pay they come up with Bs excuses to get rid of them
Demeco won’t let that happen trust
Giants at 7
Sauce Gardner is the best cornerback in the draft. I fixed it for you guys.
We respect your opinion Frankie! But we like our guy Derek. Hope they both crush it this season!
L sister
What??
