Phillip Allen Hansen (born May 20, 1968) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected in the second round of the 1991 NFL draft. Hansen was named to the 1991 all-rookie team, and played on three Super Bowl teams.[1] He played college football for the North Dakota State Bison, setting records with 41 regular-season sacks and 32 pass breakups, and started on Division II national championship teams in 1988 and 1990. He accumulated 61.5 sacks for the Bills and was inducted onto the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame on September 18, 2011.

In 2012, Hansen ran as a Republican for election to the Minnesota Senate in the newly created district 4. The district includes Detroit Lakes, where he lives.[2] He lost a close race to former state representative Kent Eken.[3]
