Trey Hendrickson has been the breakout player of the year for the New Orleans Saints, finishing the 2020 regular season with 13.5 sacks — enough to tie Los Angeles Rams superstar Aaron Donald for the second-most in the NFL, trailing only Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (15.0), a favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year.
While they all play different positions, this achievement is no less impressive because of it. If anything it’s more remarkable when you consider that Hendrickson had exactly 200 fewer pass-rush snaps (369 in 15 games) than Donald (569 in 16 games) over the course of the season, per Pro Football Focus.
