Chris Hanburger (born 1941) is a former American Football linebacker who played his entire fourteen year career with the Washington Redskins from 1965 to 1978 in the National Football League.
Right out of high school, Hanburger joined the Army. Years later, he accepted a scholarship from the University of North Carolina, where he played college ball. From 1962 until 1964, Chris played for the Tar Heels on offense, at the center position, as well as on defense, as an outside linebacker. During his stay at UNC, Hanburger was named the All-Atlantic Coast center as both a junior and senior. In 1963 he helped lead his team to the Gator Bowl and an ACC Championship.
As a pro he was considered as one of the best linebackers of his era and was elected to the Pro Bowl nine times during his career, the most in Washington Redskin history. Despite this, he has yet to be nominated or inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
