Chad Hansen joins Jets wide receiving group at 141st overall
The New York Jets selected California wide receiver Chad Hansen with the 141st overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Hansen -- 6'2", 202 pounds -- spent two years at Cal after transferring from Idaho State. While Hansen’s final-year production was prolific, he showed just average athleticism at the Combine, posting a 4.53 40-yard dash and a 35-inch vertical. A similar talent to Chris Hogan, Hansen plays with physicality and catches everything. His best NFL fit may ultimately be as a big slot receiver.
Hansen broke out for a 1,249 receiving yards on 92 catches (13.5 yards per reception) with 11 touchdowns as a redshirt junior. Pro Football Focus charted Hansen as securing 17-of-17 catchable deep targets in 2016. There's a chance he's Quincy Enunwa's future replacement.
