"He's (Mansoor Delane) a tough kid. He was a state wrestling champ and all that stuff. Tough kid. He wants to be out there. He wants to do everything." Said Reid, "We're not allowing him to use that arm. He's out there playing kind of one-handed. Until he's completely clear, we're going to keep an eye on him."
Delane expressed his goal of being at his best while recovering from the injury at the start of camp. Reid is optimistic that he will be ready once padded practices get underway soon.
"When we get into the contact stuff," Reid said, "we'll back off a little bit on him there. But he's working his tail off and doing what he can do with that. It's great for him because he has to work his feet, his techniques, his level, how high are you rising up as guys are making moves on you, are you pedaling, what are you doing there. It actually works to his benefit in the long run."
In his last season at LSU, Delane earned First Team All-SEC honors and was a unanimous All-American selection. He was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back.
