The 6 foot 2, 267 pounder was born in Egypt and didn’t start playing organized football until 2019. Despite this, he was able to be a highly productive member of the Broncos.
Over the past two seasons, Hassanein has demonstrated a significant disruptive presence, amassing 32 tackles for loss, including an impressive 24 sacks. He approaches each play with exceptional drive and intensity, showcasing a consistently high motor and unwavering passion. His hand technique is a notable strength, delivering a powerful knock-back upon initial contact.
