Ted Hendricks: The Incredible Saga of an NFL Hero and His Terrible Battle Off the Football Fields
Welcome to Raiders History, the channel where you discover the most fascinating stories behind the legends of the Raiders! Today, we embark on an epic journey, exploring the life of one of the most iconic players ever to wear the Raiders jersey: Ted Hendricks.
Born in exotic Guatemala, Ted Hendricks began his life far from the football spotlight. But destiny had grand plans for him. From his first steps on the college field to his meteoric rise in the NFL, Ted Hendricks stood out as a true giant of the sport.
We will see how he transformed into a living legend, amassing impressive achievements, memorable victories, and a great enemy along the way: himself. The pressure, fame, and expectations began to take their toll, and Ted had to face internal battles often invisible to the public eye.

💯% Packer fan for life baby‼️ I was totally bummed when Ted (#56) got traded to Oakland (#83) after just one GREAT season with the Pack. Lord knows that back in the mid-1970’s we really needed him and the two first round picks we received (Koncar & Johnson) did not equate to one Ted.

I met Ted Hendricks at a charity golf outing. He was very personable and had great stories. My brother and I are both Raiders fans. We were decked out in Raider gear for the outing which took place,ace in Chicago. Ted latched on to us at the dinner after. Great stories, big laughs, and a great memory.

I knew some of them. I actually supplied Dan ( Pig Pen) Connors with a light up Raiders hat that he proudly displayed in Bulls Tavern, one of the three bars he owned. I've been a Raider fan since 1963. I was born in 1961. Even though my dad played for the Bears and the Browns, I always liked the Raiders.

I am a Raider! I grew up in a season ticket holder family through the sixties and seventies. Cried when they moved to LA, still bled silver and black. Went to games in LA. when we could, went to games when they came back to Oakland. Cried again when they moved to Vegas, but knew they had to have a new stadium. I still, and always will bleed the colors. RN4L

'The Mad Stork,' was Ted Hendricks at UM. His wing span was incredible. Today he would be called a Freak-someone 6'7" and only 220 playing defense in college at that time and place was way out of the ordinary. He had the hand-to-eye coordination and quickness of a 6' point guard. With the leverage his length gave him, in college he was impossible to block.

The 49ers drafted a tight end in the first round in 1978 named Ken McAffee. John Madden said in preseason games Hendricks would never go full tilt. If you didnt try to embarrass him he wouldn't embarrass you. McAffee, 6-5" 250lbs who set receiving records for Notre Dame when Joe Montana was there, made the awful mistake of clipping Hendricks in the back. Madden said he played the rest of the game like it was the super bowl. He humiliated McAffee never letting him get off the line of scrimage. Totally demoralized him. His career was badically a bust and that mistake could have possibly contributed to this. McAffee became very successful after his NFL career though. You never piss off the Stork with a cheap shot.

I shook hands with Ted once. His hands are like an Orangutan. His first three fingers seem like they have an extra knuckle and his thumb kind of comes straight out of hand and it creates a huge circumference. He always had them taped up in games but you can see them in his early photos. He was a MUTANT and maybe the best splash play artist I’ve ever watched. I hope he has found peace.

No doubt, Ted revolutionized the outside linebacker position, as a tackler, blitzing, sacks, intersections, fumble recoveries and blocked punts, he used his physical skills n a very efficient manner. Alcohol addiction is a battle for everyone, most people drink to relieve stress and physical pains....gg, Tampa Florida

Was loyal & season ticket holder years until Al left LA, burned Irwindale, & began ticket reserve fee (now all nfl teams use) and moved 2 more times. Why should I fall for his disloyalty & NFLs fleecing of their fans? Nope, its a 2 way street. Great players & memories but not much of my time or money spent on them anymore.
