Saints DE Trey Hendrickson playing 'a little stronger' thanks to putting on weight

Third-year defensive end Trey Hendrickson was a force to be reckoned with on Sunday, as he constantly disrupted the Chargers offense when he was lining up in place of Cameron Jordan.

Saints coach Sean Payton partially attributed his play to his weight. Hendrickson currently clocks in at 270 pounds, which Payton said is more than he weighed in at some point last year.

"I like where his weight is at," Payton said, adding later that, "Last year, I thought his weight got a little light. This year, he's playing a little stronger and a little heavier. "

Hendrickson's stats didn't jump off the charts as he technically only had one tackle, but he came quite close to sacking Tyrod Taylor at least once and members of the Chargers offensive line were called for holding three times while blocking him.

"270 feels good," Hendrickson said. "I don't know if the weight was proportional. This is the strongest I've been."

Hendrickson added that he used "discipline" for getting his weight right.
