I saw about the same that you did with Henderson; pitch and let him run outside was his best play.
At this point he doesn't "koow" a playbook with new blocking schemes; although in terms of skill-set and what to call tht puts him in a position to make a play, he is a known quantity. The others, under NFL game-time live fire, not so much.
Part of McVay's concept of competition is to mean what he says going in, regardless of draft position or status. Evans has as yet to prove himself and I hope he does. That's based on what I know.
What I don't know is which back will look best to coaches in three days of practice and earn the start. Once chosen for a role, it appears that McVay will stick with that player rather than rotate just to get a look at others.
May the best man win is the antecedent of competition in McVay's eyes. That guy will start and it will be his position to lose, with the exception of strategic rotation, fatigue, or injury.
