Trey Hendrickson, the 2016 Conference-USA Defensive Player of the Year, was drafted in the Third Round from Florida Atlantic by the New Orleans Saints, but when he signed with the Bengals in 2021 was when he became a star in the NFL.

As of this writing, Hendrickson has played excellent pass-rushing football for the Bengals, accumulating 39.5 Sacks and 34 Tackles for Loss in his three years in Southern Ohio.  He was named to the Pro Bowl in all three of his Bengals campaigns and is entering 2024 looking to add a fourth.

Reunited, and it feels so good.

A year after Ja’Marr Chase won the NCAA National Championship at LSU with Joe Burrow, he was drafted fifth overall by the Cincinnati Bengals, where Burrow was drafted the year before.

Chase has delivered, earning Pro Bowls in all three seasons with 3,717 Yards and 29 Touchdowns.  Winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year, Chase is a sight to behold on the gridiron.  An excellent route-runner and a contortionist when he needs to be with power despite his smallish size, the Burrow/Chase combo has already been to a Super Bowl and could do so again.

The future remains bright for Ja’Marr Chase.
