So I’m hungry,” Hendrickson said when asked about his career-best 7 1/2 sacks this season, which ranks third in the NFL. Former Cal star Cameron Jordan, who has led the Saints in sacks for the past five seasons, has been limited to 2 1/2 sacks by opposing offensive fronts that are scheming to stop him with double teams. Defensive tackle David Onyemata has three sacks, while linebacker Demario Davis and safety Malcolm Jenkins have taken down QBs on blitzes a couple of times apiece. The Saints’ defensive front also has often been able to stifle opponents’ running games, ranking second in the NFL against the rush (allowing 80.3 yards per game). You didn’t have to do that at FAU, but as far as just getting after the quarterback, this is something I was born to do.”___Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
