Summary
The case for Delane is easy to make. You don’t have a season as stingy as his in the SEC without the goods. There’s not much physically about him that I’d describe as “special,” but flip on the tape and you see the way he plays the game qualifies as such. He can play man or zone at a high level in the league.
About
- 2025: Unanimous All-American (14 catches allowed on 35 targets for 165 yards)
- 2025: Lowest passer rating allowed in SEC (24.1; min. 30 targets) and 11 PD (tied for second-most)
Strengths
- Former wrestler, and it shows; takes control of one-on-one reps.
- Extremely consistent with his technique and patient in deployment.
- Very experienced as a four-year starter.
Weaknesses
- On the lighter side, with moderate muscle mass on his frame.
- Small wingspan to affect the catch point against bigger wideouts.
- One-year wonder with a breakout senior year.

Chiefs' Mansoor Delane: Lands with Kansas City
The Chiefs selected Delane in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, sixth overall.
Kansas City traded up from the ninth pick to snag the sixth choice from the Browns. Delane was evidently coveted by the Chiefs to the point that they could not bear to miss out on him, and that's not terribly shocking given that the Rams poached both of the Chiefs' prior starting corners -- Trent McDuffie (trade) and Jaylen Watson (free agency) -- earlier this offseason. Delane (6-feet, 182 pounds) initially built up his game at Virginia Tech, where he was a memorable true-freshman starter before transferring to LSU for his fourth collegiate season. With so much quality experience and production to go with his 4.38-second pro day 40, it's understandable why the Chiefs were determined to reel in Delane as their new CB1.
