Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson ranks amongst NFL’s elite in pressure rates

A week ago, Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson played through a back injury that had him listed as questionable at all for the game.

And he dominated.

As Bengals fans have come to expect, that’s par for the course for Hendrickson, one of the league’s most efficient — but underrated — pass-rushers.

Case in point, through five games, Hendrickson is one of just 10 players in the NFL with a pass-rush win rate north of 20 percent, as captured in chart format by PFF’s Sam Monson.
