rangy, instinctive linebacker who earned an NFL look after starring at New Mexico State
Hanks is best known for his speed, range, and playmaking instincts at linebacker, qualities that helped him earn a shot with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent after New Mexico State. He stood out more for disruption and pursuit than for eye-popping size, which makes him attractive to teams looking for a sideline-to-sideline defender who can chase down plays and fit multiple looks. The main question for a pro fit is whether his best traits translate against bigger, faster competition, but his quickness and effort give him real value.
