The Ravens have a rich history of pass rushers excelling in their 30s. Terrell Suggs had a 12-sack season at 32 years old and was a Pro Bowler at 35. Two years ago, Kyle Van Noy had a Pro Bowl season with a career-high 12.5 sacks at 33. Jadeveon Clowney tied his career high in sacks as a 30-year-old.<\/p>\n
With nine seasons and 81 sacks under his belt, Hendrickson is excited to keep producing at a high level. He led the league in sacks with 17.5 just two years ago and was on pace for another double-digit sacks season last year before suffering a core muscle injury. DeCosta said Hendrickson is “ready to do some damage.”<\/p>\n
Hendrickson has been cleared since January after undergoing season-ending surgery in 2025. Even as an established veteran, Hendrickson won’t be taking many days off.<\/p>\n
“I’m a football player. I like to put my hand in the dirt. I like the smell of the grass. I like my cleats sweaty when I come in from a hard training camp practice,” Hendrickson said. “That’s what I built my brand on.”<\/p>\n
Hendrickson made the Super Bowl in his first year in Cincinnati but came up short. He’s eager to return and leave with a different result.<\/p>\n
“I’m in a ‘win-now’ window,” Hendrickson said. “\u2026 this opportunity to hoist the Lombardi Trophy and get into the win column and build something from the ground up is an amazing opportunity.”<\/p>\n
The four-time Pro Bowler is not taking for granted that opportunity in Baltimore, a place that will be home for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
“Going into Year 10, that’s a dream come true,” Hendrickson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ravens have a rich history of pass rushers excelling in their 30s.
