‘”I want to be remembered as a consistent, dependable guy everyone could depend on,” Hansen said. “I got everything out of my God-given talent, and I believe I used all the tools at my disposal, and got everything out that I could.”‘

‘"I want to be remembered as a consistent, dependable guy," Hansen said. "I wasn’t Bruce Smith, and I couldn’t do what Bruce Smith did. I believe I used all the tools at my disposal, and got everything out of my talent that I could."’
