LSU will take on Baylor tomorrow in the Kinder’s Texas Bowl. The Tigers didn’t have the season they envisioned with an 8-4 record, but it will be a chance to end the season on a positive note.
One former LSU Tiger didn’t have the season that he had hoped for in the NFL either on a poor team. It was very much different from his time in Louisiana.
Grant Delpit was a Jim Thorpe award winner at LSU and has become a good starting safety in the NFL. After making the playoffs last season with the Cleveland Browns, Delpit and Cleveland are in a much different situation this year. Delpit was asked about the losing ways of Cleveland on Sunday and had a strong statement on it.
“It’s not pretty at all. It’s pretty ridiculous, as a matter of fact,” Delpit stated. “Given our expectations coming into this year. We have to fix it in the offseason and come back ready to win.”
Delpit made a career-high 107 tackles for the Browns this season and made one sack. He has been a solid starter for the Browns since he became a full-time starter in 2022 and he’s already earned his second NFL contract.
Delpit was a part of the recent LSU National Championship team and the losing is a bit different than he did in college. The Browns are 3-13 this season and are heading toward a top-3 pick in the draft potentially.
“Just seeing the snowball effect. One turned into two, turned into three, turned into four,” Delpit said of the losses. “That’s just how the theme of the year went. We didn’t do a good job of stopping the snowball effect.”
Delpit will be heading into his fifth season playing in the NFL next year and sixth overall, he has to hope it will go better than this season did.
