Thiadric Hansen (born December 26, 1992) is a professional Canadian football linebacker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was drafted second overall in the 2019 European CFL Draft by the Blue Bombers and was added to the roster on May 15, 2019.[1][2] He played for the Flensburg Sealords in the Oberliga before joining the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes in 2012.[3] He played for the Hurricanes for seven years and was the club's all-time leading tackler.[3] He then joined the Potsdam Royals in 2019 before getting the invitation to try out for the CFL just before the start of the 2019 GFL season.[3] Hansen had spectacular start to his CFL career, going to the 107th Grey Cup with the Blue Bombers. In the Grey Cup he had a thunderous hit on special teams taking out both a blocker and the returner, a hit for which he received national acclaim.[4] Hansen and the Bombers would go on to win the game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats ending a championship drought of 28 years for Winnipeg.
