ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)--The Buffalo Bills honored former defensive end Phil Hansen as the 27th member of their Wall of Fame on Sunday in a ceremony at halftime of their game against the Oakland Raiders.
Hansen played in three Super Bowls for the Bills after being picked in the second round of the 1991 draft. The North Dakota State product played his entire 11-year career in Buffalo, and started 148 of the 156 career NFL games.
Hansen finished with 61 1/2 sacks, the third-most in team history. Only NFL all-time sack leader Bruce Smith (171), and Aaron Schobel (78) have more.
He also was on the league's All-Rookie team in 1991, had three consecutive seasons of 100 or more tackles, and accumulated a career-high 10 sacks in 1995.
