Louis Delmas SELECTED BY: Lions Round 2 (1)

SI Grade 3.96 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter awarded all-Conference honors the past two years posting 111/4/3 as a senior when he led the team in tackles. Junior totals included 64/1/2. Posted 53/4/5 as a sophomore after 82/3/8 during his freshman campaign. Experienced returning kicks.

POSITIVES: Active and aggressive safety flying up draft boards. Quickly picks up assignments in coverage, effectively diagnoses the action and gets to plays with a closing burst of speed. Displays good sideline-to-sideline range, plays with a good degree of suddenness, and flies around the ball. Quick up the field in run defense, and sacrifices his body to make the tackle. Solid ball skills and good hands for the interception.

NEGATIVES: Lacks classic safety size. Too aggressive at times, and takes himself from the action. Inefficient and does not always take correct angles to plays.

ANALYSIS: Delmas has been a terrific college safety and will do well at the next level for a team willing to overlook his size limitations. Best facing the action, he offers starting potential in a zone system.

PROJECTION: Second Round
