Chiefs Seventh-Round Pick C.J. Hanson on Pre-Draft Journey, Talks with KC

Kansas City's final pick of the draft didn't always know the NFL was a serious possibility for him, but he's excited about everything coming together when it did.

• Author: Jordan Foote

In this story:

In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs spent three picks on fortifying their offensive line. With the selections of Kingsley Suamataia, Hunter Nourzad and C.J. Hanson, the team has a good mix of athleticism, short-team projectability, upside and intrigue.

Hanson, the club's final pick at No. 248 overall and one of the 12 former FCS players picked in the draft, may have a combination of all four.

While the Holy Cross product always had dreams of going to the NFL, Hanson didn't know it was a real possibility for him until recently. Describing the pre-draft process as "tremendous" for him, it allowed him to get on teams' radars with his workout and interview performances. Speaking to the media after hearing his name called on Saturday, Hanson paid homage to the journey.

"I think since I was a kid, I've always had the thought," Hanson said. "I was always like the 99th percentile in height. My mom's a big part of my life, and she's always thought it as well. But I had no clue this was an opportunity until, really, the start of this year. I didn't have an agent hit me up until after the third game. It just hit all facets, and these last couple of months have gone super fast. I've been just enjoying the time the whole time. It's been great."

Without his stellar athletic testing, Hanson very well may have been on the undrafted free agent market. His 9.84 Relative Athletic Score was the byproduct of a five-second 40-yard dash, a 33.5-inch vertical and a nearly 10-foot broad jump. At 6-foot-5 with 32-inch arms, Hanson has the ability to play any interior offensive line spot.

Another part of the process Hanson believed helped him was simply getting to meet people. Things like being able to put his talents on display at the East-West Shrine Bowl and attending the NFL Combine, he thinks, were his favorite elements of the process.

"I think just relationships and meeting new people and getting to talk football with them," Hanson said. "Even just training, like, being able to work out with different guys every day from different schools [and] different perspectives, it's so cool. I was blessed to have the opportunity to do everything here. Just meeting people and making relationships, I think, is the coolest part throughout the process."

For most of Kansas City's 2024 picks, familiarity was a theme. Many of their draft picks spoke about how their interviews with the reigning champions went. Suamataia and Nourzad, both linemen, come to mind. Hanson says communication with the Chiefs went swimmingly in recent weeks, which absolutely factored into the pick being made.

Now, it's a dream realized and full speed ahead.

"Our conversations have been great, I've talked to them multiple times," Hanson said. "But you never know until you know, and I'm coming to a back-to-back Super Bowl-winning team. There's a standard there, and I'm going to have to definitely get to that standard and excel past that standard. I'm looking to come in here and give it my all and hopefully help this team out and make it even better than it already is. I'm in a Super lucky position to be here, and I couldn't be more excited."

Azamara Pursuit Itineraries

Azamara pursuit review, review of azamara pursuit.

The 2001-built (as "R-Eight"/R8) Azamara Pursuit cruise ship (fka "P&O Adonia") is the third of all four identical R-Class ships in the Azamara fleet - together with Azamara Quest , Azamara Journey and Azamara Onward (Pacific Princess) . As "Adonia", the liner was one of the P&O UK's "adult ships" - together with Oriana and Arcadia . In the period 2016-2017, the vessel was renamed "Adonia fathom" and served Carnival Corporation 's "fathom" brand with itineraries to Cuba leaving round-trip Miami .

The vessel (IMO number 9210220) is currently Malta- flagged (MMSI 248762000) and registered in Valletta .

History - construction and ownership

Azamara Cruises was a fully-owned subsidiary company of RCG-Royal Caribbean Group until 2021. Founded in 2007 as "Azamara Club Cruises", the company was rebranded in 2009 (Azamara Cruises) and 2019 (Azamara). Azamara ships were originally built as R-Class vessels for Renaissance Cruises (1989-founded/2001- defunct ).

In January 2021, Azamara's parent company RCG-Royal Caribbean announced an agreement to sell the brand for USD 201 million (~EUR 165,8 M / ~GBP 147,6 M / carve-out transaction) to Sycamore Partners. Sycamore Partners acquired the entire company and its 3 ships, plus all the associated intellectual property rights and goodwill. The all-cash transaction was closed in 2021-Q1. Sycamore Partners (shipowner) is a 2011-founded, NYC -headquartered private equity firm with USD 15+ billion in capital and assets under management. Among the largest of the Sycamore Partners-owned companies are Belk Inc (department store chain), Talbots (retailer of clothing-shoes-fashion accessories), Nine West Holdings (designer and wholesaler of branded clothing-shoes-accessories) and Staples Inc (office retailer).

The 694-passenger ship Azamara Pursuit was formerly operated as "R Eight" (Renaissance Cruises, between 2001-2003), Minerva II (Swan Hellenic, 2003-2007), Royal Princess (Princess Cruises, 2007-2011) and Adonia (P&O UK, 2011-2018). Of this class (with the same design) are also the following ships in the fleets of Oceania Cruises ( Insignia , Nautica , Regatta , Sirena ) and Princess Cruises ( Pacific Princess ).

On September 26, 2017, Azamara ( RCCL Royal Caribbean subsidiary company) announced an agreement with P&O UK ( Carnival Corporation subsidiary company) to purchase the Adonia ship. The vessel's fleet transfer from P&O to Azamara was scheduled for March 2018. Following the extensive drydock refit and refurbishment at "Harland & Wolff Heavy Industries" (shipyard in Belfast Ireland ), the ship was renamed from Adonia to "Azamara Pursuit" (namesake Seabourn Pursuit).

Decks and Cabins

Azamara Pursuit staterooms (352 total, in 24 grades) include 62 Suites, 170 Balcony, 80 Oceanview, 23 Inside. Handicap/wheelchair-accessible cabins (for disabled passengers) are only 5 (2x Balcony, 3x Interior). A total of 247 staterooms have private, step-out balconies. Most cabin balconies are sized 45-60 ft2 / 4-6 m2. The largest accommodations are the World Owners Suite (600 ft2 / 56 m2 plus 215 ft2 / 20 m2 terrace).

The boat has 11 decks , of which 9 are passenger-accessible and 6 with cabins.

Four elevators (2x Forward and 2x Aft passenger lifts) interconnect all decks.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

For a small ship, Azamara Pursuit features plenty of options for each meal. The passengers are also encouraged to explore local cuisine when ashore. The line plans to add a complimentary tapas bar when the ship goes into dry dock in 2016. Overall, the food on board is quite good. There are rotating themes in the buffet and the tables there are spruced up at night with soft glowing orbs. The main dining room pampers with an entree salad every night.

Follows the complete list of Azamara Pursuit restaurants and food bars.

• Discoveries Restaurant (aft Dining Room, complimentary, with waiter service, open seating Breakfast 8-9:30 am, Lunch 12-1:30 pm, and Dinner 6-9:30 pm)
• Pool Grill (lunch-only casual dining restaurant with the fast-food menu, made-to-order - pizza, pasta, burgers, fries, salads; complimentary)
• Windows Cafe (complimentary buffet restaurant; has indoor seating and portside/starboard terraces; open between 6:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.; offers early, buffet and late breakfast, buffet lunch, afternoon tea, and casual dinner)

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

Because the ship focuses very much on destinations, Azamara Pursuit doesn't have as many daily activities as passengers might find on mainstream cruise ships. There are a couple of trivia sessions each day and some other pastimes, such as origami and Bridge. The Cabaret Lounge is ship's cabaret space, with risers behind, as opposed to a true theater. As the ceilings are low-slung, this space feels more cramped and the type of shows offered there is limited.

Follows the complete list of Azamara Pursuit lounges, clubs and other entertainment venues for kids, teens, and adults.

• Le Boutique (duty-free luxury shop for bags, gifts, brand jewelry)

Azamara Pursuit Wiki

In June 2018, Azamara officially announced Pursuit's godmothers - Ellen Asmodeo-Giglio (EVP and Chief Revenue Officer of AFAR Travel Magazine USA) and Lucy Huxley (Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly UK). Boat's christening ceremony was on August 28, 2018, held in Southampton England . The ceremony was attended by Larry Pimentel (Azamara's CEO). Following the naming ceremony, the boat made a complimentary Maiden Voyage to Cherbourg France for an afternoon VIP event.

In April 2018, the ship joined Azamara's fleet (the sisterships Journey and Quest ). The official delivery from Carnival Corporation was on March 14, 2018, when the vessel was renamed "Azamara Pursuit" (namesake Seabourn Pursuit) and received its new Captain - Carl Smith. The liner then entered drydock for classification and inspection by the new owner (RCCL), then crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Belfast Ireland for a 4-month drydock refurbishment at Harland+Wolf" shipyard.

Azamara Pursuit's "Inaugural Cruise" was scheduled for August 1, 2018, leaving roundtrip from Southampton to Norway Fjords. Prices started from USD 4500 pp. Azamara ship's namesake is Seabourn Pursuit (2023-built).

Adonia was one of P&O UK's adults-only ships - together with the fleetmates Arcadia and Oriana .

By design (as a Renaissance-class vessel), the ship's sisters are Insignia , Nautica , Regatta , Sirena , as well as the fleetmates Azamara Journey , Azamara Quest , Azamara Onward . The vessel was built in 2001 for Renaissance Cruises under the name “R Eight”. The same year, Renaissance ceased operations and the company filed for bankruptcy. The ship was seized by creditors and until 2003 was laid up in Port of Marseille (France). In 2003 it re-entered service (as “Minerva II”) for Swan Hellenic. In April 2007, the ship completed its Swan Hellenic service and was transferred to Princess Cruises. Renamed to “Royal Princess“, the ship entered into service in April 2007.

MV Adonia was christened in a dual christening ceremony (together with Oceana ) on May 21, 2003. Ship's godmother was HRH Anne (Princess Royal) and her daughter Zara Phillips.

• In 2011, Royal Princess was transferred to P&O UK's fleet and started operations as "mv Adonia".

Adonia was transferred in 2016 to the new (Carnival-owned) “fathom Cruise Line” offering 7-day Caribbean cruises from Miami to Cuba and Dominican Republic (on year-round roundtrip schedule from Florida). Adonia rejoined P&O UK in June 2017, after a year of "impact tourism" Fathom operations. The cruise liner completed its last voyage from Miami to Cuba on May 14, 2017, then entered drydock in Freeport Bahamas . The refurbishment added a wine bar (curated by TV’s Olly Smith) and a Glass House (specialty restaurant). Then the ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean (without passengers) reaching Portland on June 14 for a wash and brush-up before being welcomed back to Southampton the following day by a fire tug shooting jets of water.

Azamara Pursuit refurbishment 2018 review

The 2-month long drydock (June-July, following the transfer from P&O UK) was done at Harland+Wolff shipyard ( Belfast Ireland ) and resulted in the following changes:

• Large touch screen displays were installed in several areas around the ship. They allow passengers (for free) to send digital postcards, explore world atlas maps and also provide Azamara Cruises itineraries and ports of call information.
• On Deck 4, Inspiration Center has a 98-inch touchscreen (interactive system provides information on future cruises - itineraries, ports, excursions).
• On Deck 10, The Drawing Room (Library) and the Living Room both have interactive tabletops (used for sending digital postcards, Scribble app, Internet / social media websites).
• All public areas (restaurants, bars, lounges) were re-furniture.

All cabins and suites were redesigned and received new furniture, carpeting, wall covers, fabrics, shelving, curtains, bedding sets (pillows, duvets), new lighting and smart HDTVs (interactive system). All bathrooms were redesigned. All high-grade Suites received modern furniture, dining tables, drapes, media consoles, and sound systems.

The shipboard Wi-Fi coverage was upgraded to shipwide (via “Pervasive Wi-Fi” system). The new Interactive TV system (in all cabins) offers movies on demand, live TV programming, onboard event schedules, weather updates, itinerary/port information. The system also allows shore excursion booking through the TV, as well as room service orders.

The boat's staterooms number was decreased from 356 (Adonia) to 340 (Pursuit). The number of crew/staff was increased from 300 (Adonia) to 400 (Pursuit).

2018 refurbishment cost Azamara Cruises GBP 50 million (EUR 56 million / USD 65,5 million).
