Superstar Defender for the Cincinnati Bengals Receives Heavy Applause from AFC Rival During Important 2024 Offseason
The Cincinnati Bengals have done an exceptional job over the past few seasons building up a talented roster to push for another AFC title. While having a solid roster is a huge part of being a competitive NFL team, this is a sport and a league that is reliant upon star power.
This is an organization that has put a ton of effort into acquiring stars on the offensive side of the ball including quarterback Joe Burrow, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and wide receiver Tee Higgins. Even with all of that exceptional talent on the offensive side of the ball, this organization has still managed to keep some skilled defenders.
On the defensive side of the ball, this is a team that has managed to put together a list of contributing agents but in terms of stars, no one is more valuable to this unit than defensive end Trey Hendrickson.

Since being signed as a free agent from the New Orleans Saints in 2021, Hendrickson has established himself as one of the best pass rushers in the league including a 17.5-sack season in 2024 which was good enough for second best in the NFL.
Even though Hendrickson has put up some remarkable numbers over the past few seasons, he has been depicted as one of the most underrated defenders in the NFL.
Recently, one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL gave him plenty of respect when he spoke to Colin Cowherd on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. That player is Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins.
