Cal WR Chad Hansen makes second team All Pac-12

Chad Hansen is the only Cal player to make either the first or second All Pac-12 team. Hansen was on the second team as a wide receiver.

Both Washington wide receiver John Ross III and Washington State wideout Gabe Marks made the first team, although Hansen arguably had equal if not better stats than both of them with less games to play.

• Hansen: 10 games, 92 catches, 1249 yards, 13.6 yards per catch, 11 touchdowns.
• Marks: 12 games, 85 catches, 867 yards, 10.2 yards per catch, 13 touchdowns.
• Ross: 12 games, 72 catches, 1071 yards, 14.9 yards per catch, 16 touchdowns.

Oh well. Congrats to Chad for a remarkable 2016 campaign! Here’s hoping we get a chance to see him next season in a Cal uniform.

Other Cal players that earned Pac-12 honorable mention are quarterback Davis Webb, kicker Matt Anderson, defensive tackle James Looney, offensive lineman Steven Moore and running back Khalfani Muhammad.
