=== NFL Career: A Breakout Performance ===
Hendrickson's journey to the NFL began when the New Orleans Saints selected him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft with the 103rd overall pick. His early years in the league were a mixture of learning and adjusting to the professional game. In his first few seasons, Hendrickson played a rotational role on the Saints' defensive line. However, he was able to show flashes of his potential as a pass rusher, earning limited but valuable experience alongside some of the league's best defensive players.

Hendrickson’s breakout moment came in 2020 when he finally earned a starting role with the Saints. That season, he exploded onto the scene, recording a career-high 13.5 sacks, which ranked among the best in the NFL. His performance was a testament to his relentless work ethic and his ability to consistently pressure the quarterback. Hendrickson’s 2020 campaign earned him widespread recognition and proved that he had the potential to be one of the top pass rushers in the league.
