What happened: Kristian Fulton, Nohl Williams, Trent McDuffie and Travis Hunter complete the top five behind Delane. All five grades sit above 90.0 in man coverage this season.
Why it matters: The same Mansoor Delane taken sixth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft leads a group with two first-round picks in the top five. Nohl Williams backed up his third-round status with 48 tackles in 17 games in 2025.
By the numbers: PFF man-coverage grade: Mansoor Delane 93.8, Kristian Fulton 92.8, Nohl Williams 91.8, Trent McDuffie 90.9, Travis Hunter 90.3.
What to watch: Division games in October will test whether Delane keeps the top mark.
