The New England Patriots have had an aggressive offseason, adding talent across the board and setting themselves up for significant improvement. However, one need remains largely unfilled, and that is finding a true game-changing pass rusher.

Hendrickson is one of the most productive pass rushers in the NFL today. After three quiet seasons in New Orleans, he exploded for 13.5 sacks in 2020, then followed that up with 14 sacks in 2021, eight sacks in 2022 and 17.
