Arkansas Bengal Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Dave Clark, Cincinnati Enquirer Tue, Sep 26, 2023, 11:15 PM CDT·3 min read The Cincinnati Bengals' official Twitter account referred to defensive end Trey Hendrickson during the team's NFL Week 3 win against the Los Angeles Rams at Paycor Stadium on ESPN's Monday Night Football as "your QB's worst nightmare." Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford found out the hard way that a banged-up Los Angeles offensive line was no match for Hendrickson, who had two of the Bengals' six sacks of Stafford and pressured him for most of the night. "What Trey Hendrickson is doing right now, it's just not fair," ESPN analyst Louis Riddick said during the broadcast. "Trey's just too good. He's just too good for a backup tackle (to handle). You can't leave him one-on-one." What to know about Hendrickson, who was voted to the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons with the Bengals: Hendrickson has 25 of his 45 career regular-season sacks as a Bengal. Hendrickson totaled 20 sacks in the 45 games he played for the New Orleans Saints over his first four NFL seasons. He's got 25 in the 34 games he's played in three seasons for the Bengals. Hendrickson didn't become a full-time starter for the Saints until 2020, his final season in New Orleans. He had 13.5 sacks in 15 games that season. Hendrickson had 14 sacks (fifth-most in the NFL) in 2021, his first season in Cincinnati. Hendrickson was a third-round pick (103rd overall) of the Saints in the 2017 NFL draft. Hendrickson starred at Florida Atlantic, and had 29.5 sacks and 41 tackles for loss in four seasons with the Owls. Also selected in the third round in 2017: DT Larry Ogunjobi, CB Ahkello Witherspoon, RB Alvin Kamara, DE Dawuane Smoot, WR Cooper Kupp, C Pat Elflein, G Dan Feeney, LB Alex Anzalone, CB Fabian Moreau, WR Chris Godwin, RB Kareem Hunt, RB D'Onta Foreman, DB Shaquill Griffin, S John Johnson, TE Jonnu Smith and RB James Conner. The Bengals' 2017 draft class included John Ross (1st round), Joe Mixon (2nd), Jordan Willis (3rd), Carl Lawson (4th) and Jake Elliott (5th). Cincinnati reached a four-year deal worth $60 million with Hendrickson, then an unrestricted free agent, just hours after Lawson left for the New York Jets. Hendrickson reached a one-year contract extension in July. The extension keeps Hendrickson, who turns 29 in December, with the Bengals through the 2025 season. Hendrickson reportedly received an additional $21 million with the extension: $5 million this season and $16 million in 2025. Hendrickson made a significant impact during the Bengals' Super Bowl run. Hendrickson had 3.5 sacks, eight tackles and five QB hits in four playoff games to help the Bengals reach Super Bowl 56. He also started all three postseason games after the 2022 season. Many thought Orlando Brown, the former Chiefs offensive lineman now with the Bengals, held Hendrickson on a crucial Patrick Mahomes scramble and run late in the AFC title game. Hendrickson and Brown are two of five current Bengals to earn a Pro Bowl selection. Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Mixon are the other three current Bengals to receive a Pro Bowl nod. Hendrickson demonstrated impressive ball-catching skills at the Pro Bowl in February. During a Pro Bowl skills competition in Las Vegas, Hendrickson held four footballs and successfully caught a fifth while fielding a punt. https://sports.yahoo.com/qbs-worst-nightmare-know-cincinnati-041509546.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine a gunner wouldn't want any part of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
