Former LSU defender turned Cleveland Browns defensive back Grant Delpit is preparing for a showdown with Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens this weekend. He had some fascinating comments ahead of the matchup.
On Thursday, Delpit was asked how hard it is to bring down the bruising running back in Henry. The defensive back quickly replied: “Not hard,” via ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.
Well, the quote made it back to Henry. The Ravens star responded to Delpit later on Thursday afternoon, explaining that he was made aware of Delpit’s comment: “He had a quote,” Henry stated, via ESPN. “We’ll see on Sunday.”
While Henry decided not to add any more fuel to the fire, his former coach at Alabama in Nick Saban took a different approach. He joined The Pat McAfee Show on Friday, shocked at Delpit’s claim.
Then, Saban learned it was Delpit who made the statement, and remembered that he went to LSU. He took a shot at the Tigers afterwards: “LSU guy,” Saban scoffed. “How many times did they beat us when he played?”
