Mansoor Delane continues to show why he could be the Bengals pick at pick No. 10
Mansoor Delane ran a blazing 4.35 40-yard dash today at the LSU Pro Day. The LSU cornerback was already considered to be the top prospect at the position for the 2026 NFL Draft. All he did by running that time was solidify himself as the top guy, and potentially another step closer to going in the top 10.
The Bengals are hoping to get extensions with both DJ Turner and Dax Hill at some point this offseason. Even if they are able to do so, that doesn't rule out them taking a cornerback at 10th overall. They very well could select Mansoor Delane in that spot.
Delane was tremendous in 2025 with a 90.7 coverage grade. He allowed just a 40.0% completion rate against him this past season. He was a shutdown corner for the Tigers. He isn't just a cover corner either, Delane is a more than willing participant against the run.
How would you feel if Mansoor Delane were the selection at 10th overall this year? Sound off in the comments.
