He accepted a football scholarship from the University of Tennessee. As a freshman, he was listed as a second-team wide receiver, but played mostly as a backup tight end.

As a senior in 1986, he entered the season as the starting tight end, registering seven receptions for 107 yards. He finished his college career with 10 receptions for 145 yards and two touchdowns. [2]

Professional career

Hendrix was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Chicago Bears after the 1987 NFL draft on April 30. [3] He was waived on August 27. [4]

After the NFLPA strike was declared on the third week of the 1987 season, those contests were canceled (reducing the 16 game season to 15) and the NFL decided that the games would be played with replacement players. In September, he was signed to be a part of the Dallas Cowboys replacement team that was given the mock name "Rhinestone Cowboys" by the media. [5] He was the backup tight end behind Rich Borresen and played mostly on the special teams units. He was released at the end of the strike on October 20. [6]
