NFL draft profile: Darrell Henderson
Darrell Henderson is a running back from Memphis who led the nation with 2,328 all-purpose yards and scored 25 total touchdowns during his junior season.
Pre-Draft Analysis
Henderson is a quick and decisive runner with good vision and feel. He plays faster than his timed speed and shifts into another gear when he hits daylight. He runs hard and has above-average leg drive for his size. He's a reliable receiver, but he's a below-average pass-blocker at this point.
Post-Draft Analysis
Henderson averaged a whopping 8.9 yards per carry in 2017, and thus defenses were geared up to stop him in 2018. So much for that plan -- he averaged yet again an absurd 8.9 yards per carry. Todd Gurley led the NFL in touches by a running back over the past two seasons with 658, which perhaps led to his reduced role -- and C.J. Anderson's increased role -- in the playoffs. Henderson has a chance to help, and soon. -- Chris Sprow
