Steve Hendrickson American football player

Steven Daniel Hendrickson (born August 30, 1966 in San Pablo, California) is a former professional American football linebacker in the National Football League. Drafted in the sixth round of the 1989 NFL draft after playing collegiately at California, he played a total of seven NFL seasons for the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, San Diego Chargers, Houston Oilers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Hendrickson is fondly remembered among Chargers fans for being used as a short yardage, goal line running back, despite the fact that his main position was a defensive one. In particular, Hendrickson scored on a 1 yard run against the Kansas City Chiefs in a January, 1993 playoff game, played in San Diego, to cap off a 17-0 shutout of the Chiefs.
