Mansoor Delane is a freshly minted member of the Kansas City Chiefs. After trading their No. 8 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Cleveland Browns for the No. 6 pick, head coach Andy Reid and the Chiefs selected the LSU Tigers cornerback. The 6-foot cornerback had a sensational senior 2025 college football season, finishing with 45 tackles, two interceptions, 13 passes defended and 11 pass breakups.
Delane was rewarded for his strong play by being named a first-team All-SEC member. The Archbishop Spalding High School graduate also became the 14th football player in LSU program history to be named a unanimous All-American.
