4. He was primary an outside corner during his time in college.
Delane was almost exclusively an outside corner across his time at Virginia Tech and LSU, recording 95% of his career snaps on the outside. He expressed his availability to play all over the Chiefs’ defense, however, when asked about his versatility on Thursday.
Specifically, here’s what Delane said in regard to potentially manning the slot in Kansas City:
“[I’m] super comfortable [in the slot]. I love playing inside – I think that’s almost even more fun,” Delane said. “You’re closer to the ball, you’re in more runs fits and you can blitz more. I think the more responsibly, the more fun it is. I’m excited.”
5. Delane is originally from Maryland.
A native of Maryland who grew up just outside of Washington D.C, Delane attended a pair of high schools – first Landon School and then Archbishop Spalding – where he established himself as one of the top prospects in the state.
He eventually landed at Maryland before wrapping up his collegiate career at LSU, and now all these years later, Delane is headed to Kansas City.
