To this non-expert’s eye he looks mighty fast for a big guy

A very good rep of what HC can mean to an athlete with a goal of a pro career!

CJ & Jalen are two extremely impressive young men...... Holy Cross should be proud of these true student athletes. Their exposure in the NFL will have a positive effect for future Holy Cross recruits and players to be noticed. There is a lot of buzz on the Hill and it will continue with our support to Coach Curran and staff. Looking forward to this Fall and many outstanding performances.....

www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/news-florida-notre-dame-uab-holy-cross-pro-day-report-all-eyes-joe-alt-qb-sam-hartman-proves-shakyThirty teams attended Holy Cross pro day, a large number for a small northeast school. Most were on hand to primarily watch two draftable players who performed at the Combine. Among the attendees from the NFL were Kansas City Chiefs Director of Pro Personnel Tim Terry and Dan Shamash of the New York Jets.Holy Cross offensive lineman C.J. Hanson weighed in at 306 pounds, six heavier than Indianapolis, and completed 25 reps on the bench press. He was run through position drills by the New England Patriots and looked smooth in all his movements. The Philadelphia Eagles had a scout on hand who took special interest in Hanson. Dylan Laube of New Hampshire also took part in the workout, participating in drills, including catching punts for more than 20 minutes. Laube had a solid Senior Bowl week followed by a good Combine workout and has cemented himself as a day three pick. He’s a Swiss army knife handing the ball at running back, as a pass catcher and return specialist. I’m told Dan Shamash, listed as the Jets special teams assistant, was locked in on Laube. But the star of the show was the mother of C.J. Hanson, Diane Macchia, fondly known as “Mama D.”Mama D prepared a homemade wedding reception buffet for scouts on hand complete with Italian hero’s, shrimp cocktail, Ceasar salad and homemade football-shaped oreo cookies. Mama D also had doggy bags prepared for scouts as they left the pro day workout.Several scouts on hand quipped they would push their franchise to draft Hanson with the promise his mother would accompany the offensive lineman and cook for the team! MAMA D!!!!!

Diane's tailgate spread is no joke. Don't know how she does it.

ESPN+ has a mock draft of all 7 rounds today - no sign of CJ but they have Jalen going as pick no. 249 in the 7th round to the Lions Of course, it's meaningless at this date but interesting to see such a projection.

The more often a name appears in these mock drafts, it becomes a bit more likely it may appear again in the real thing.

Mock drafts and all the hoopla leading up to the April draft is one of the least interesting and most ridiculous things in sports to me. I find it slightly better than NASCAR, but still behind lumberjack competitions and wife carrying races, in my viewing habits. However, a couple years ago I did pay attention to some mock drafts to see who the Patriots might select. None of these players were picked by the Patriots. 100% anecdotal I know, but still. I will be excited if CJ and Jalen get drafted.

While agreeing completely with Crosser on his view of mock drafts, I hope the one mentioned above comes to pass and Jalen joins Kalif with the Lions…and then the Lions sign CJ as an undrafted free agent. With Jonah Jackson’s departure in free agency and Frank Ragnow’s injury history, the Lions need to bolster the depth on their O line.

x.com/art_stapleton/status/1774486904861237268?s=20More Giants and CJ dates… “Holy Cross offensive lineman C.J. Hanson visiting #NYGiants as part of their local Pro Day on Thursday, per sources. Hanson has C/G flex and met with NYG at Combine and at his Pro Day. I’ve heard Ali Marpet’s name more than once with Hanson mentioned - not necessarily as prospect comp, but as similar small school sleeper. Hanson is a North Jersey native who starred at DePaul“

Id be surprised if the Giants used one of their late picks on him as I think they have more pressing needs for those rounds.
Should he somehow go undrafted, I feel pretty confident the Giants would make him one of their top priority UDFAs based on how Shaun O'Hara was speaking of him at the combine.
Edit: as a Giants fan I'd be thrilled no matter how they got him, for the record

Best option is can I make the roster Giants management just might be lacking and if not a draft pick in the fifth round find your best home
Feel free to disagree
