Joselio Basilio Hanson (born August 13, 1981) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He began his professional career by signing with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2003. He also spent one year of his career in NFL Europe with the Frankfurt Galaxy, six seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, and one season with the Oakland Raiders.

He played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders after transferring from El Camino Junior College.

Hanson's parents are John, a musician, and Yolanda, an opera singer. He attended St. Bernard High School in Los Angeles California and was a letterman in football and basketball. After not even starting as a junior, he helped lead his team to the state finals as a senior.

Hanson first played college football at El Camino Junior College, before transferring to Texas Tech for his final two years. He also received interest from Illinois and Arkansas. At Texas Tech, he majored in human development and family studies.

After not being selected in the 2003 NFL draft, Hanson was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent. He did not make the final roster as a rookie, but was retained on the team's practice squad through the regular season. In 2004 he made the active roster and went on to play in 13 games that year, starting three of them. He registered 18 solo tackles, two assists, six pass deflections and a sack.

Hanson remained a member of the 49ers through the 2005 offseason, but was cut prior to the beginning of the regular season.

After his release from the 49ers, Hanson was not picked up by another NFL team and chose to spend a season in Europe with the Frankfurt Galaxy, after they drafted him in the 6th round of the league's free agent draft. The Galaxy won the league championship in his first and only year with the team.

In 2006, shortly after the conclusion of the NFL Europe season, Hanson was signed to a two-year contract by the Philadelphia Eagles. That season, Hanson played in all sixteen games for Philadelphia, starting one, garnering 26 solo tackles, nine assists, and thirteen pass deflections. In 2007 season, he again played in all sixteen games, starting four, and made 45 solo tackles and seven assists, along with a sack and a fumble recovery. This earned him a one-year contract for the 2008 season.
