As the Monday deadline to declare for the NFL Draft draws closer, it was expected that several players that participated in the National Championship Game that happened just a little more than 48 hours ago. 

When it came to the LSU Tigers, six underclassmen wasted little time making their decision on social media, forgoing their senior season and will enter the 2020 NFL Draft.

Grant Delpit was the first shoe to drop on Wednesday at around 1:43 pm.

“We are champs,” Delpit wrote in a post on social media. “We hoisted the trophy for you and LSU fans everywhere. I’ve decided to move on to the NFL. I will carry the joy and excitement of this season with me forever.”

The next hammer to fall was the defensive MVP of the National Title game in Patrick Queen. Queen tied Jacob Phillips with eight tackles against Clemson and collected a game-high 2.5 tackles for loss in the 42-25 win.

“My time at LSU has given me an unbreakable bond with incredible people,” the inside linebacker said in his social media post. “The opportunity to wear the purple and gold was a childhood dream. Upon realizing this dream, the goal turned to winning a national championship.”

The next player that announced was wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who thanked his brothers Jordan and Rickey along with head coach Ed Orgeron in his social media post.
