Trey Hendrickson (born December 5, 1994) is an American professional football linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida Atlantic Owls and was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft. Hendrickson signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021 and won the 2024 Deacon Jones Award after leading the NFL in sacks that season.

Hendrickson attended Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and played college football for the Owls from 2013 to 2016.

Hendrickson was projected by the majority of NFL draft experts and scouts to be a third or fourth round pick. He played in the 2017 East-West Shrine Game and was named the game's defensive MVP.

Hendrickson was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the third round (103rd overall) of the 2017 NFL draft. On June 2, 2017, the Saints signed him to a four-year, $3.17 million contract which included a signing bonus of $706,288.

He competed with Darryl Tapp, Alex Okafor, Obum Gwacham, Al-Quadin Muhammad, and Alex Jenkins throughout training camp for the role as the starting defensive end. Head coach Sean Payton named Hendrickson as the backup defensive end to Cameron Jordan and Alex Okafor to begin the regular season.

Hendrickson was unable to appear in the Saints' season-opening 29–19 loss to the Minnesota Vikings due to an illness. On September 17, 2017, Hendrickson made his professional regular season debut against the New England Patriots and recorded three combined tackles in the Saints' 36–20 loss. The next week, he had two combined tackles and sacked Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton during a 34–13 victory. In a Week 6 matchup against the Detroit Lions, he had two pass deflections as the Saints won 52–38.

In the 2018 season, Hendrickson appeared in five games in the regular season and recorded eight combined tackles and four quarterback hits.

In the 2019 regular season opener for the Saints, Hendrickson recorded two sacks against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. He had 4.5 sacks, 19 total tackles, and a forced fumble in the 2019 season.
