Baltimore Ravens linebacker Trey Hendrickson made a Super Bowl appearance with the Cincinnati Bengals on Feb. 13, 2022. The 23-20 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams may have inhibited Hendrickson then, but his new home with the Ravens should help him find optimism.
Hendrickson recorded career-highs with 17.5 sacks and 33 solo tackles in 2024, numbers that the Ravens front office administrators could not ignore this offseason. Impressively, Hendrickson thrived on a Bengals roster that had been quite underwhelming since the departure of Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in 2024. Injury inhibited Hendrickson in 2025 after four consecutive seasons with 15 or more games played. Perhaps it was Hendrickson's utilization that affected his durability, a reference point for Ravens head coach Jesse Minter to be mindful of in 2026.
Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, Minter, and Hendrickson collectively have familiarity with the Bengals. With Hendrickson's intel across enemy lines, opportunities to make Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow hit the grass may rise for the Ravens defense. With the company of defensive tackles Calais Campbell and Nnamdi Madubuike, Hendrickson will be a powerful force.
Hendrickson only had one recorded tackle in Super Bowl LVI, and his first opportunity to secure the Lombardi trophy slipped from his fingertips. Hopefully, a revitalized Ravens team can offer him another chance at a Super Bowl title in 2026.
