When they signed Hendrickson, I watched the obligatory highlight reel and read a few snippets about him in order to form an opinion. At first I had thought that he was a guy who feasted by moving to the 3 technique spot. It turns out that he was objectively the best player in the NFL from the 7 tech position last year(according to Doug Farrar).

He's more athletic than a lot of people give him credit for. While he did rush from the inside somewhat(can't find stats), he can absolutely bend the edge at a high level. If allowed to pick between Lawson or Hendrickson for equal money, I'd absolutely rather have Hendrickson.
