Tim Hänni in an interview: a Swiss on his way to the NFL

Tim Hänni plays in the highest European league for American football and has the chance to make the jump to the NFL.

With the Hamburg Sea Devils, Tim Hänni is in the final of the European League of Football (ELF) and will have the chance to recommend himself for the NFL shortly afterwards at the International Combine.

In the twelve regular season games, Tim Hänni was one of the pillars of the Hamburg Sea Devils' overall very well-positioned defence with 41 tackles. He brought down opposing ball carriers 14.5 times for a loss of space - including the quarterback 6.5 times. (0.5 points are recorded in the statistics when two players make the tackle together). Once he even stopped the offence in its own end zone, scoring a safety - two points - for his team.

What chances do you think you have at the International Combine?
It's difficult to say, but that's exactly why the Combine exists. That's where the scouts see who they can and can't work with in the NFL. I can't say where I stand. I'll go in there blind and do my best. The rest will fall into place.

Should you convince at the Combine and make the jump to the USA, you would be the first Swiss in the NFL?
Yes, I would be the first Swiss. Some people say that Ben Roethlisberger, the former quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is Swiss through seven corners and some ancestors. But that doesn't count.

Thank you for the interview and as a Hamburger I wish you good luck in the ELF final.

When I was but a young student, I'd sit in my friend's living room with all my classmates and play on his SuperNES. Since then I've had the opportunity to test out all the newest technology for you. I've done reviews at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, and have now arrived at Galaxus.de.
