I just knew after the one thread about Hendrickson not playing well, he was going to blow up.

He did that and some. So happy we extended Trey for another year after this one. He IS an elite pass rusher.

When he is determined to get to the QB, no LT in the NFL can stop him for an entire game, no way.

Like you said, he can shoot out of a cannon and the LT has no chance.

5. OT1: Brown, thru 2026
6. WR2: Higgins, 2024 FA
7. CB1: Awuzie, 2024 FA
8. LB1: Wilson, thru 2027
9. LB2: Pratt, thru 2025

12. DE2: Hubbard, thru 2025

Too early to tell
21. FS: D. Hill, thru 2025 + 2026 5th.
