Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Mansoor Delane addressed reporters in a Zoom press conference for the first time shortly after being selected 6th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. He shared his excitement for joining the organization and becoming a contributor to the franchise's success. "I'm being 100% honest.

When they called me, I just started crying. I don't know who was talking to; I was saying, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. " said Delane, "I remember, I just talked to Coach (Andy) Reid, Mr.

(Brett) Veach. I remember those two specifically. Once I kind of wind it down a little bit, it was a great moment.

" The Chiefs dealt their No. 9, 74, and 148th pick to the Cleveland Browns to move up to select Delane with the No. 6 overall pick.
