## Resource

Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver is comparing star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to NFL legend J.J. Watt, highlighting his intensity and leadership as the cornerstone of a revamped defense. Already dominating training camp with explosive speed and relentless pressure on Lamar Jackson, Hendrickson’s early impact validates his big free-agent contract and signals a return to aggressive, identity-driven football under new head coach Jesse Minter. With the team’s pass rush struggling last season, Hendrickson’s emergence — alongside promising rookies and emerging linemen — could be the catalyst for a dominant defensive resurgence.
