Plenty of Delpit’s teammates believed Delpit deserves the number without question.

“Obvious choice for me,” cornerback (and Delpit’s roommate) Kary Vincent said.

“I couldn’t see it going anywhere else. Coming in with Grant, been together since Day 1. He’s been, obviously, a great player on and off the field. Great friend, great teammate. I just can’t see the number going anywhere else.”
