Deleston, who played safety at UConn, had 4 tackles from the outside linebacker position.

The two seniors weren’t asked to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine but will have a chance to show their stuff to the NFL scouts when UConn holds it’s Pro Day.

As of right now, neither one is projected to be drafted but it’s quite possible they both could receive free agent contracts after the draft is over.
