"Coach Hafley, he's a guy who recruited me too at Boston College, so I'm very familiar with him. I'm excited to meet with him. Showing consistency. That was the biggest thing for me. I always had the talent, but it was just being able to put it all together. So, when I came to LSU, just taking one play at a time, next-play mentality, just being locked in every snap."
"Delane possesses the physical traits to be a lock-down cornerback in the NFL, and he doesn't shy away from contact on the outside. If I had the choice, I'd play middle linebacker in college. I just love physicality. I love tackling. I love being in the box. A lot of corners might be scared to tackle, but I love that."
"I want to take the ball away more. That's a big area of improvement for me. I want to be a game changer. You know, teams are going to keep throwing at you if you're not creating turnovers."
Mansoor Delane, LSU's standout cornerback, is a prime target for the Miami Dolphins in the 2026 NFL Draft's first round at pick 11. Delane previously played at Virginia Tech before transferring to LSU for his senior season, where he recorded eight interceptions and 27 pass deflections. New Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley recruited Delane during his time at Boston College, creating a potential connection. Delane is considered one of the top two cornerbacks in the draft class alongside Tennessee's Jermod McCoy. Known for his physicality and willingness to tackle despite playing cornerback, Delane emphasizes consistency and focus as key improvements he made at LSU. He aims to increase ball-hawking abilities to become a game-changing defender.
