Who is better?
Laron Landry
Eric Reid
Grant Delpit

I'm going with Delpit, Landry and Reid in that order. Each have different styles but I'm taking Delpit

Delpit is a blend of the two.
I'll accept this order.

Delpit will be second only to honeybadger by the time he finishes here.

It is a pleasure that we get his services for another year after this one.

Delpit reminds me a lot of Reid. I think he's a better player, though, which is saying a lot.

I think he was our best in recent memory(~82 for me). But OP didn't include him.

Delpit is more well rounded than those two. Landry and Reid we're maybe more physical in the run game being bigger safety's. Grant has a honey badger like feel for the game though. Jamal Adams and Grant are the two best at that position that I've seen in my lifetime.

Adams was great but sometimes a liability in coverage

Delpit is on his way to being argubaly the best, but Landry was the best head hunter I've ever seen at that position and that is the type of play I love, so he gets nod as best for me.

GD9 is second to none no doubt but, to compare him against the other LSU Legendary safeties is a subjective nightmare.

I will say that Delpit had one of the most impressive strips during the fake FG break-up vs UGA. The guy is lying on his back after over pursuing the ball carrier but somehow sits up to strip the ball away. It was one of those plays that you just watch and appreciate but don't understand what happened util you've seen the replay 30 times...

Jamaal is great he’s a bit more physical but not all over the field like Delpit

Laron Landry was by far the best

Prisoner of the moment much?

How quickly people forget how good Landry was in college as a 4 year starter.

Delpit is good but not on Landrys level...YET

And second off I would put Adams above Reid. Theres a reason Adams and Landry were drafted top 6.

Landry by A LOT!

Don't be stuck in the here and now. Landry was an absolute beast and definitely brought the hat when hitting!

Delpit is good and so was Reid. I think Delpit is ahead of Reid in the same point in their college careers so I put him ahead of Reid, nit by much though.

Laron Landry was an absolute beast before he got all roided out.

I think Delpit is more of a blend between Adams and Mathieu, rather than Adams and Landry.
