Early life

College career

Hanson first played college football at El Camino Junior College, before transferring to Texas Tech for his final two years. He also received interest from Illinois and Arkansas. [2] At Texas Tech, he majored in human development and family studies.

Professional career

San Francisco 49ers

After not being selected in the 2003 NFL draft, Hanson was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent. He did not make the final roster as a rookie, but was retained on the team's practice squad through the regular season. In 2004 he made the active roster and went on to play in 13 games that year, starting three of them. He registered 18 solo tackles, two assists, six pass deflections and a sack. [3]

Hanson remained a member of the 49ers through the 2005 offseason, but was cut prior to the beginning of the regular season. [4]

Frankfurt Galaxy

After his release from the 49ers, Hanson was not picked up by another NFL team and chose to spend a season in Europe with the Frankfurt Galaxy, after they drafted him in the 6th round of the league's free agent draft. [5] The Galaxy won the league championship in his first and only year with the team.

Philadelphia Eagles

In 2006, shortly after the conclusion of the NFL Europe season, Hanson was signed to a two-year contract by the Philadelphia Eagles. That season, Hanson played in all sixteen games for Philadelphia, starting one, garnering 26 solo tackles, nine assists, and thirteen pass deflections. [6] In 2007 season, he again played in all sixteen games, starting four, and made 45 solo tackles and seven assists, along with a sack and a fumble recovery. This earned him a one-year contract for the 2008 season. [7]

Hanson's number was changed from 22 to 21 during the 2008 offseason, due to Asante Samuel signing with the team. On the Thanksgiving night game against the Arizona Cardinals, Hanson started in place of an injured Samuel and recorded his first career interception. In week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys, he returned a fumble 97 yards for his first career touchdown, as part of a victory that sent the Eagles to the playoffs. [1]

On February 20, 2009, Hanson agreed to a five-year contract with the Eagles, worth $21 million. [1] He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent the following week.

On November 11, 2009, it was announced that Hanson was to be suspended for the next four games of the season due to failing a drug test before the NFC Championship the previous season. [8] On December 7, Hanson had his suspension lifted, and was able to play on the active roster for the remainder of the season.

Hanson was released on September 3, 2011, during final roster cuts. Hanson was re-signed to a two-year contract by the Eagles on September 7, 2011. [9]

He was released again during final roster cuts on August 31, 2012. [10]

Oakland Raiders

Hanson was signed by Oakland Raiders on September 3, 2012. [11] On August 27, 2013, he was placed on the injured reserve list. [12] On August 31, 2013, he was waived with an injury settlement.
