^Hendricks’ mother was a Guatemalan-born woman of
Italian descent named Angela Bonatti Lazzari, and Ted
is considered the NFL’s 1st Guatemalan player.

^^During his pro career as a special-teamer, Hendricks
blocked 10 punts and 14 placekicks, believed to be
alltime NFL records. In 1974, he had 7 combined blocks
to lead the NFL and set the record for most blocks in a
season. Once, he blocked a punt but was called offsides
and the extra yards put the opponents into field goal
territory. So, Hendricks went ahead and blocked the
field goal. He even had a punt deflection that went
1 yard beyond the line of scrimmage, meaning it was a
1-yard punt – not a blocked punt.
2019: Named #1 Best-ever Kick and Punt Blocker by NFL
Football Journal. The article named a total of 69
kick/punt blockers, but none of the others were former
‘Canes. However, included in their “other notables” catagory
were proCanes Calais Campbell, Mike Barnes and Bubba McDowell.
