Kurt Hendrix (born May 2, 1994) is a retired American football defensive end best known for his time with the Baltimore Hawks of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for USC before being drafted by the Baltimore Hawks in the 2016 ISFL Draft (S1).

Early years

Kurt Hendrix was born to tackle people, as a baby he literally jumped out of the womb and speared the doctor attempting to deliver him. As the son of an Army officer, Hendrix grew up in an environment of extreme discipline. He has a strict diet that includes thirty eggs per day and a rigorous exercise routine. Although there isn't video of it, rumors say Hendrix tackled an entire offensive line at once during his legendary high school career. That HS career took place at Warren, one of the highest populated schools in the LA area. His parents didn't want him sheltered going to some pussy rich boy school like Mater Dei or St. John Bosco. As a Los Angeles native, it was natural to stay in the area and sign with the USC Trojans as a five star recruit.

College career

He was a four year starter at USC and picked up serious hardware along the way: Butkus award winner, Heisman finalist, National champ, and led the country in tackles for loss. Instead of staying in the dorms like a normal college student, Hendrix slept on a bench in the weight room using a football as a pillow. Hendrix could play any LB position in a 4-3 but could also thrive playing one of the inside spots in a 3-4 defense. All the evidence points to one thing, he might just be the best linebacker talent since Lawrence Taylor.

Scouting report- Relentlessly pursues ball carriers, could drop into pass coverage, and is an effective pass rusher. Delivers bone crushing, brain rattling hits. Has great closing burst, is a sound tackler, and has great instincts. He makes or is near every tackle. No character concerns. Would run in front of a train for his team. He could be over aggressive at times. His all out playing style has led to injuries. He has suffered ten concussions but has dished out 15x that in return.

2016 NSFL Draft Combine

Hendrix was drafted by the Baltimore Hawks in the 10th round of the inaugural NSFL draft. There were concerns by the NSFL scouts about how his skills would translate to the professional ranks. He quickly put those worries to rest by leading the league in total tackles with 144, a record that has stood for 19 seasons. During his 2nd season the coaching staff decided to move him to defensive end, a position the Hawks had minimal talent at. From there he was a staple on the defensive line for the Hawks for 10 more seasons before retiring. He was voted to six Pro-Bowl teams, was part of the S10 Ultimus winning Hawks and was inducted into the NSFL Hall of Fame.
