Trey Hendrickson is having quite the week.
First, he gets a $14 million raise to play this season.
Then he is named the 14th best player in the entire NFL by his peers.
That’s quite the jump in NFL.com’s poll, as Hendrickson was only #77 last year.
Jameis Winston called the pass rusher a “silent assassin” and “the little engine that could.” The New York Giants quarterback added, “And like shrimp, [he] comes out of nowhere again.”
Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Staley said, “I think he’s probably the best technical power rusher in the game.”
Meanwhile, in the accompanying article, NFL.com’s Coral Smith described him as “an elite game-wrecking force” and noted that he “accounted for 32.2% of the Bengals total pressures generated last season, making him the only defender to have recorded a team pressure share over 30%.” Smith added that Hendrickson led the league with 92 QB pressures.
Impressive stuff.
