Grant Delpit was one of the best safeties in the history of LSU. As a four-star recruit in the 2017 class, Delpit became an immediate contributor as a true freshman.
Delpit would go on to become a first-team All-American in both 2018 and 2019 before bypassing his final season of eligibility to enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
In April, the Cleveland Browns selected Delpit at No. 44 overall in the second round.

Delpit is one of the most successful defensive players in the history of LSU. He played in 40 career games, making 37 starts and won the Jim Thorpe Award in 2019 as the nation’s top defensive back.
Now, Delpit is officially a Brown, joining former LSU stars Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and Greedy Williams in Cleveland.
The NFL is tentatively set to open training camp for all teams within the next two weeks, however, that could change depending on the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
