Christopher "C. J." Hanson (born March 3, 2001) is an American professional football guard for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Holy Cross Crusaders and was selected by the Chiefs in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL draft.
Early life
Hanson was born on March 3, 2001, in Bergen County, New Jersey, and grew up in Wyckoff. After playing flag football in second grade, he began playing tackle football in third grade; he also played a number of other sports including lacrosse growing up. He attended DePaul Catholic High School and played four years on the varsity football team, but only was a starter as a senior, when he was named first-team All-County and second-team All-State at left guard and assisted as DePaul Catholic won the league title. He committed to play college football for the FCS-level Holy Cross Crusaders as a zero-star recruit.
College career
After a redshirt season in 2019 in which Hanson appeared in three games, he recorded his first start in the 2020–21 season while playing a total of three games in the season. He then won the starting nod at right guard in 2021, starting all 13 games that year while being named second-team All-Patriot League by Phil Steele. He started all 13 games in 2022, being named first-team All-Patriot League, and then as team captain in 2023 started all 11 games, earning first-team All-Patriot League, All-Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), All-New England and third-team All-American honors from Stats Perform. In the 2023 season, he helped the team rank in the top six in the FCS in rushing offense, total offense and scoring offense, while allowing no sacks and eight pressures on 321 pass-blocking snaps. He ended his collegiate career having started 38 games, helping the team compile records of 10–3 (2021), 12–1 (2022) and 7–4 (2023) in his three seasons as a full-time starter. He was invited along with Jalen Coker to the NFL Scouting Combine, with him and Coker being the third and fourth players in school history to be invited as well as the first since 1988; he also played at the East–West Shrine Bowl.
