In a continuing theme, Hanback is another guy who changed positions due to the change from 4-3 to 3-4 defenses. Hanback was recruited as a 4-3 DT. But in the new defense, he’s a better fit as a DE. He’s not quite big enough or strong enough to play inside in a 3-4, at least not every down. It is possible that he’ll slide down there at times, because he has very good quickness for a guy his size.
