NFL Draft Analyst


Prospect: Louis Delmas, FS, Western Michigan
Ht: 6'0 Wt: 202 40: 4.52

Strengths: Excellent toughness and can make huge hits.  Great athletic ability.  Very physical play-style.  Extremely effective against the run.  Aggressive.  He is good in zone coverage.  Has the ability to intercept the football.  Can recognize plays easily.  He excels into his tackles. He is always around the football.  He has four years of experience.  Great leader.                                      

Weaknesses: Very Raw, he will need time to develop.  Can be overaggressive (in coverage as well as run support).  Does not have elite speed.  He will need to put on muscle (only benched 225 lbs. 12 times).  He will need to put on bulk or else his physical playing style will get him injured.  He did not play against elite competition.           

Summary: Louis Delmas is a great character guy.  He was the leader of Western Michigan’s defense and has a great work ethic.  He has qualities that could turn him into a pro-bowler in the NFL.  However, he will take time to develop into his potential.  He needs to improve some major areas (muscle, bulk), but his upside is tremendous.  He has great experience and is a stellar athlete.  He is a solid 2nd round pick.

Draft Projection: 2nd round.
