He does not have 300 touches on his body.
He does not have goal line leg drive or length.
It's why I'm looking at RB early.
If you're not a threat to run the ball in on goal to go from the 3, then your playbook shrinks and so do the lanes.
But I think a RB will be available to be a 1A to Henderson's 1B.
I don't know man...I hear you because his body isn't huge. But several things lead me to believe that he can.
His lower body is very thick. He's got phenomenal contact balance.
And take a look at the below chart on what PFF said about him last year in regard to yards after contact per attempt. That metric helps to highlight running back skill level independent of team blocking.

Henderson Draft ProfileHe was a tackle-breaking beast! Maybe he doesn't have the length but I'm not sure how he can do that if he didn't have the leg drive. The fact that he's been THE best RB in all of college since 2014 in YPC after contact leads me to believe that he would do just fine running the ball in on goal to go from the 3.
