Up Close & Personal
Born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, Ted Hendricks was an honor student and multi sport athlete at Hialeah High in Florida. The first collegiate Three Time All America selection, he majored in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Miami and was selected in the 1969 NFL draft by the Baltimore Colts. He played a key role in Super Bowl V, played one year for the Green Bay Packers and 9 years and 3 Super Bowl victories for the Raiders. Ted was a strong, fast and devastating tackler and at 6'7" with wide ranging ams was tagged the "Mad Stork" by his Miami Hurricane teammates. He is the only Miami Hurricane to be inducted into UM, Florida, Bay Area, Collegiate and Pro Football Halls of Fame.

Ted currently serves as the Vice President of the Hall of Fame Players, is founder of the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award, and spends much of his time dedicated to helping both youth and seniors. His interest in helping providing recreational, health and educational opportunities for those in need is the focus of The Ted Hendricks Foundation who's motto is: "Making a difference in the lives of today's seniors and tomorrow's leaders."
