Delpit, the 2019 Jim Thorpe award winner and 2018 unanimous AP All-American, was one of LSU’s biggest names despite an uneven season plagued by nagging injuries. His decision to move on to the pros will likely be a profitable one; Delpit is ranked as the 15th best prospect in Matt Miller’s latest NFL Draft Big Board.
