All things considered, not a bad place to land for Holy Cross offensive lineman C.J. Hanson.

On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Hanson in the seventh round with the 248th overall pick. The reigning Super Bowl champs bolstered their line with the 6-foot-5, 300-pounder, a player who can carve out a place for himself in the NFL.

With the pick, Hanson became the first Holy Cross player to get drafted since 1989.

This speaks to Hanson’s ability, but it also shows how good of a recruiter former coach Bob Chesney was. Now at James Madison, Chesney has a keen eye for talent, and helped develop the New Jersey native into the player he is today.

Hanson had a strong leadup to the draft, as he played in the East-West Shrine Bowl, and also competed in the NFL Scouting Combine.

At the Combine, Hanson ran a 5.0-second 40-yard dash, a 1.76 10-yard split, and registered 33.5-inch vertical leap, and 9-7 broad jump.

As you can see from those numbers, one of Hanson’s best attributes is his athleticism. Hanson can move to get second-level targets, and is just a fundamentally sound football player.

In NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein’s scouting report, he says Hanson lacks elite strength to handle the interior defensive linemen he would face at the NFL level.

A team captain this year, Hanson was a Stats Perform All-America Third Teamer. Hanson was also All-ECAC, and All-New England this year. He is a two-time First Team All-Patriot League performer,
