Notre Dame's Julian Love was also a finalist for the award, which is presented annually to the top defensive back in college football.

Here is how some of his current and former teammates reacted to the news:

He woulda had it if he didn't refuse to play in the bowl game.

TriDitty•78 months

Life It happens.

Delpit was the better defensive back this year

LSUOverEveryTeam•78 months

We have terrible fans. Beetch about everything.

voodooidotwo•78 months

No, we just are not blinded by the players who wear Purple and Gold.

SpartyGator•78 months

Greedy > Baker LSU > UGA

Lardon•78 months

I had Greedy for the Thorpe, too, until he got memed on by Tua and then aTm.

Storm Warning•78 months

Choosing not to play in the bowl game may have swayed votes against him.

Antogivs89•78 months

Lies.

Fightin Okra•78 months

Votes were probably cast by the time he annouced that

Summer of George•78 months

Good

JakeFromStateFarm•78 months

Delpit outplayed everyone on LSU’s defense this year. If any LSU player was robbed of the Thorpe, it was him.

HonoraryCoonass•78 months

Probably for the better. He could have gotten injured putting the trophy in the car. #safetyfirst

PotatoChip•78 months

UGA got the “almost beat Bama” votes

rob62•78 months

They should have gotten the LSU kicked their arse vote as well.

TigerCat33•78 months

I like that a Sr. won the award. Good for him.

toothfxr92•78 months

Haters going to hate because they disagree with your decision...Keep in mind these haters don't have next level talent and can't understand how difficult this decision is or how this business of football works because they are blinded by their fandom...good luck on next level

loopdog•78 months

There's three Opinions on this ! And like "A" holes,everyone has one. #1 Greedy wants the money now !(Selfish?) #2 Greedy plays in the bowl and stays another year ! (Selfless) There is no memory greater than playing four years with your mates and winning it all. #3 Delpit was the better defensive back this year ! No doubt, he was robbed !

RightWingTiger•78 months

I'm sure Greedy is still recovering from the heart break and pain that was caused when he found out that Bandits58 disagreed with his decision to skip playing in the meaningless "Fiesta Bowl" epic showdown with the Defending National Champions UCF!!!

RightWingTiger•78 months

Sorry "loopdog" but you seem to have forgotten a bit of info that could make Opinion #2 (Selfless) a tad more complicated. Greedy plays in the bowl and blows out a knee, has to have surgery to repair the knee. Then he drops from early 1st round (which guarantees a multi-million dollar contract) to, if he's lucky, 5th-6th round or even worse undrafted. Then his coworkers at the Piggy Wiggly drop the nickname "GREEDY" and for the rest of his life he's affectionately refered to as "MR. SELFLESS". But hey I'm sure all of us RANTers would absolutely, positively, no doubt about it throw caution to the wind and PLAY IN THE MEANINGLESS FIESTA BOWL so as to not be SELFISH RIGHT

TigerDeBaiter•78 months

It’s a “meaningless” award. So he shouldn’t be too upset. He’s still getting paid soon. #greedy

Bandits58•78 months

I’m glad he didn’t win it! Not playing in the bowl game so !!

23hella•78 months

You’re a shitty fan then

Tiger Roux•78 months

He had a great season, bama QB and am QB at the end of game were just making great passes on him.

burke985•78 months

He probably missed out because of how he was abused in the aTm game.
