Siouxperfan7 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I think we are all aware of the skill that Hardin has and he has definitely showed it on the field, especially this year. You don't see too many 5'11" , 167 lb receivers in the NFL, but what do you guys think about his chances for playing on Sundays in the future? Quote

You don't see too many 5'11" , 167 lb receivers in the NFL, but what do you guys think about his chances for playing on Sundays in the future? Depends on his senior year and/or the combine. Kleinsasser made it, Chris Kuper made it so why not. Quote

You don't see too many 5'11" , 167 lb receivers in the NFL, but what do you guys think about his chances for playing on Sundays in the future? Needs to clean up some pretty blatant drops. Also needs to tighten up his route running. Not sure he has the size/speed needed to play in the NFL, but if he keeps working hard, he will probably have a shot to play somewhere after college. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Lets see the senior season and his off-season workout results then I'll go from there. It would be nice to see him but on 10 lbs this offseason also as long as he doesnt lose any speed. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I think he could definitely make it in the CFL but like others have said he may be a little undersized for the NFL although I would love to see him wearing the purple and gold. What do you guys think of Hanson being drafted this year or being signed as an undrafted free agent? Quote
darell1976 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Imagine Dressler on one side and Hardin on the other. Saskatchewan would be a great CFL team. Quote

mg2009 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 undrafted camp shot for sure, and probably a combine invite. Hansen may get a camp invite, but with only 6 collegiate games played, I wouldn't bet money on it. Quote

Hansen may get a camp invite, but with only 6 collegiate games played, I wouldn't bet money on it. Scouts have been all over Hanson this year, I wouldn't be surprised if he was at least one of the 'hired arms' for the NFL combine. Quote
bincitysioux Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I could see Hardin getting an invite to an NFL camp, not necessarily drafted though. His route running is his best strength as far as I'm concerned and has "elusive" speed. Needs to clean-up the drops though. Hanson doesn't have the arm to get a look from NFL scouts IMO. Accurate? Yes. But he's under-thrown alot of balls to his receivers this season................. Quote

Yes. But he's under-thrown alot of balls to his receivers this season................. Some of his under-thrown balls may be related to his leg injury. I don't think he has had quite the same zip after the injury as he seemed to have that first game. He might have had some problems with his follow-through, which could make him throw short. But I think he's got a pretty good arm. Quote
bincitysioux Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 He's been getting looked at all year. I hope he gets a shot, he's got alot of skills. But IMO he gets ALOT of help from his receivers. He's underthrown just as many as Hendrickson has overthrown........... Quote

He's underthrown just as many as Hendrickson has overthrown........... Underthrown balls are hard on DBs to defend. Overthrown balls are impossible to catch. I'll take underthrown with 70%+ completions. His only huge knock is arm strength.... Quote

Offense continues to be a well-oiled machine, as it has been all year................................ Quote
Blackheart Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Imagine Dressler on one side and Hardin on the other. Saskatchewan would be a great CFL team. Now that's an oxymoron right there.... Quote
UNDvince97-01 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 He's underthrown just as many as Hendrickson has overthrown........... I completely disagree. Quote
UNDvince97-01 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Hanson just got done throwing for 660 yards and 5 TD on 42 for 61 passing. That's almost 70 percent. Incredible. Not to mention that on the majority of every play he had blitzers coming in his face and had to either make the proper read or stand in there and throw the ball before the WR made his break. He always hangs in there even when he knows he's gonna take a shot. The guy does it all the time. Do you realize how rare this is at this level? But we complain about underthrowing? I mean seriously, this is hilarious. Does he occasionally make a bad throw or decision here and there? Sure. Made a bad throw and decision on the corner route interception and tried to force a post to Golladay on another one. Probably bound to happen when you throw it 60 times. We should probably give Marcus a chance this weekend in Bozeman. EDIT: Hanson also had a 15.71 yard avg for his completions this week. Not bad for a "dink and dunk" guy who is constantly throwing "2 yard completions". 1 Quote
UND-1 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 We should probably give Marcus a chance this weekend in Bozeman. I am sure Bin and Oxbow would be all for that. "Braden threw for 660 yards and 5 TD's, but he underthrew the receiver 3 times. They should split time next week" Quote
