Eric DeCosta praises Trey Hendrickson after training camp performance
Summary

Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta expressed confidence in defensive player Trey Hendrickson heading into the upcoming season. DeCosta noted that Hendrickson performed well during competitive practice sessions against the Minnesota Vikings and Washington Commanders. The team initially pursued both Hendrickson and Maxx Crosby in March before finalizing the signing of Hendrickson. Hendrickson, who previously played for the Cincinnati Bengals, recorded 17.5 sacks during the 2023 and 2024 seasons before injuries hampered his play in limited appearances last year. DeCosta expects Hendrickson to serve as a key closer for the Baltimore defense, particularly in late-game situations. The organization views his methodical training routine and veteran presence as significant assets to the roster as the regular season approaches.
