I bumped intoΒ Peter HansenΒ at the San Francisco airport last week. Hansen, who played on Arizona’s basketball team from 1999-2002 and was a special teams standout on the UA football teams of 1998-2001, was on his way to Atlanta on a football recruiting trip. As Stanford’s inside linebackers coach, he works with ex-CDO High standoutΒ Blake Martinez. Hansen has done well since graduating from the UA with an economics degree. He played professional football in France, professional basketball in Denmark and was part of the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff for two years.Β
