Ravens' Trey Hendrickson Bringing J.J. Watt-Level Competitiveness to Camp
Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver says the newly signed edge rusher, on a four-year, $112M deal, is standing out early with his intensity.
New Baltimore Ravens edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is already turning heads in training camp, with defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver comparing his intensity to former standout J.J. Watt. "He would rip somebody's face off because he's that competitive," Weaver said of the newly signed pass rusher.
What did Baltimore give up to sign him?
Hendrickson joined the Ravens on a four-year, $112 million contract, a significant offseason investment aimed at bolstering the pass rush. Early camp reports suggest he's living up to the intensity his new coordinator expects from that kind of deal.
What else is standing out on defense?
Hendrickson's arrival comes as Baltimore also works Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike back into the fold after neck surgery, giving the front seven multiple storylines to track as camp progresses. Madubuike practiced for the first time in 10 months this week, though he's still being eased along off to the side of full team drills.
How does this fit the bigger picture for Baltimore?
New defensive leadership under coordinator Anthony Weaver, paired with a marquee free-agent addition in Hendrickson, signals the Ravens' intent to overhaul a pass rush that needed reinforcement. Early camp buzz suggests the fit is clicking quickly.
