Trey Hendrickson (born December 5, 1994) is an American football defensive end for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Florida Atlantic.[1]
Professional career
Coming out of Florida Atlantic, Hendrickson was projected by the majority of NFL draft experts and scouts to be a third or fourth round pick. On January 21, 2017, he attended the 2017 East-West Shrine Game and recorded a strip/sack. He was named the Defensive Player of the Game but lost with the East to the West 3-10.[2] He received an invitation to the NFL combine and completed nearly all of the requited combine drills but chose to skip the bench press. His time in the 40-yard dash (4.65), tied for seventh among all defensive linemen. On March 30, 2017, Hendrickson participated at Florida Atlantic's pro day, had 18 reps on the bench press, and performed positional drills. 27 NFL teams had scouts and team representatives attend to scout Hendrickson and ten other prospects.[3] He was ranked as the 13th best defensive end prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.[4]
