On his podcast

Hard to disagree, he’s better as a soph than any of our previous great safeties.

Tua ain't seen a unit like this yet.


Expect Bama to change everything about the way their offense plays by halftime

Laron was fricking fierce even as a freshman.

That said Delpit is a better all around DB than Laron was imo. His game is more akin to Eric Reid, who was badass as a freshman as well.

But yeah Delpit is going down as an all time great without question, and will probably be the best we’ve had at the next level as well.

I've said he's the best tackler on the team since last season. He sticks it.

Delpit is incredible. He can cover, he's great against the run, he has incredible instincts.

He is a phenomenal player. Maybe the best defensive player we've had since Mathieu. And if it's not him then it's Devin White. And they are playing on the same team together.

Idk how to even quantify it. The past like 15 years has been one big blur for me when it comes to our badass DBs.

What I think is more interesting is that teams are avoiding Greedy and giving Delpit a lot of looks which is great to have 1a and 1b on opposite sides of the field.

When Delpit blitzes, forget about it. He affects the QB one way or another almost every single time. It's LSU's D at its best when we do that. Aranda sent him on some really good disguised blitzes this weekend and UGA was all confused.

Crazy thing is he's playing injured. Refs in Auburn game also robbed him of a forced fumble too.

josh allen is really really good. he and delpit are hard to beat for sure. deandre baker had a great game and would definitely fit in to dbu.

tbh, i haven't watched one down of bama football this season. what's the point. i'm sure they have a stud lb.

I said a few weeks ago on here he would be the first defensive player taken regardless of position in the 2020 draft

Nope. At the beginning of the season Solo Cam said Devin White is. I told him White wasn’t even the best defensive player on his team, because Delpit is. Much ribaldry ensued.
