‘In reality, Hansen — in his unassuming way — has always been a reliable leader and coach Wade Phillips said that will not change. "He’s still leading by example, but he’s also a vocal leader, and he’s been a captain for a number of years," said Phillips. "We get the leadership qualities we need from him and we always have." Said Hansen: "It’s really hard to believe that Bruce, Thurman and Andre are gone, but now it’s time for guys like myself and Henry to take a more prominent role. "I don’t think it’s a burden, I think it’s my responsibility as a 10-year member of the Buffalo Bills to make sure that this team stays on course and does what it has done in the past and that’s be a good successful team." The best way Hansen can do that is to lead by example, which is what he has always done.’
