Reluctant Star

Posted Aug 8, 2011
Chris Hanburger is and always will be a reluctant star. As a Tar Heel, the versatile Hanburger was twice named First-Team All-Conference as a center, while also playing linebacker on defense. During 14 seasons as middle linebacker for the Washington Redskins, Hanburger played in the Pro Bowl nine times. The Fort Bragg native was recently elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and as a member of the Class of 2011, with an August induction. (Inside Carolina)
