Dolphins host LSU cornerback Delane
Tuesday, April 8: The Dolphins hosted LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane for a pre-draft visit this week. He’s a potential option for them with the No. 11 overall pick. Miami doesn’t currently have a No. 1 cornerback and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said the team’s entire secondary knows it’s auditioning for a job this offseason.
Coach Jeff Hafley’s specialty is in coaching and evaluating defensive backs. Delane and Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy are ESPN’s top-ranked cornerbacks in this year’s class but so far, only Delane has been inside the building.
