Dansby was drafted by the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks with the 255th overall pick in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. 

The Oakland, California native started his college career playing under Arizona head coach Brent Brennan and cornerbacks coach Chip Viney at San Jose State. Dansby played three seasons for the Spartans before transferring to the Wildcats. 

Members of the UA coaching staff told the Star that several NFL teams were interested in drafting Dansby with a late-round pick because of his versatility at cornerback and special teams dating back to his SJSU days. 

Dansby recorded 19 tackles, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and a team-high 10 pass deflections. One of Dansby's pass breakups was a critical one on third down late in Arizona's road win over Cincinnati. 

With Dansby as the primary defender, Dansby was targeted 47 times and only allowed 17 catches (36.2%), according to Pro Football Focus.   

Dansby joined Treydan Stukes, Genesis Smith and Dalton Johnson — all defensive backs — as Wildcats to get drafted. It's the most Arizona defensive backs drafted in one year. It's also the first time Arizona has back-to-back draft classes with four or more players since 2007 and '08.
