Could Texas A&M WR-turned-LB Aaron Hansford outperform expectations with Cowboys?

The Aggie WR converted to linebacker after injuries were derailing his trajectory. Where will his talents take him as a professional? Tyler Browning (@DiabeticTyler ) takes a look at his prospects.

Texas A&M linebacker Aaron Hansford was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and played in the Under-Armour All-American game. He was highly regarded entering the Aggie program, however injuries slowed his development. He suffered a season-ending injury in his freshman year, resulting in a medical redshirt. In 2018 he missed the entire year due to injury as well. In 2019 he made the move from wide receiver to linebacker and has played in every game since.

Sixth-round pick Devin Harper had a phenomenal showing at the NFL combine, posting a 9.51 RAS score, which is likely one of the reasons he got drafted over Hansford. However, based on the film alone, did the Cowboys get better value in their undrafted free agent Hansford? Let’s dive into the film and find out.
