Aggies Linebacker Aaron Hansford's NFL Future Looks Bright
Aaron Hansford had one of the better showings at the Aggies Pro Day and that's garnered him interest from NFL teams including the Las Vegas Raiders and the Indianapolis Colts leading into next month's NFL Draft.
Via Aaron Wilson at PFN: Hansford, who stands 6-2 and weighed in at 239 pounds, put up good numbers at the NFL Scouting Combine, highlighted by a 4.6 40. Hansford reportedly met with an Arizona Cardinals during A&M's Pro Day as he ran the linebacker drills.
The Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders are among those interested. Wilson reports that Hansford has already met with the Houston Texans as well as the Minnesota Vikings.
Last season he led the Aggies with 89 tackles, ranked third with 8.5 tackles for losses, and returned a fumble for a touchdown.
Hansford finished his time in College Station with 157 tackles, 18.5 tackles for losses, and seven sacks. Hansford was moved to linebacker from wide receiver after being recruited from St. John's College High School in Washington, D.C.
Other Aggies who took part in the NFL Combine and who are hoping to join the NFL in April are tight end Jalen Wydermyer, offensive lineman Kenyon Green, running back Isaiah Spiller, defensive linemen Michael Clemons, Tyree Johnson, DeMarvin Leal, and Jayden Peevy, and safety Leon O'Neal Jr.
The 2022 NFL Draft kicks off on April 28 in Paradise, Nevada at Allegiant Stadium, with the Jacksonville Jaguars owning the first pick.
