Within 1.5 steps, so it's clean. Didn't use his head, so it's clean. Didn't hit Burrow's head, so it's clean. Didn't leave the ground to hit him (but did fall after his teammate took out his feet), so it's clean. Didn't drive him into the ground, so it's clean. Didn't land on top of him, so it's clean.
I thought that hit was called football. We've cheered that hit a thousand times when it wasn't OUR quarterback.
I guess there's people out there who enjoy seeing Hendrickson cleanly hit the QB and then having to worry about the flag being for him somehow roughing the passer instead of just seeing a clean hit and assuming it was for intentional grounding.
