If Henderson can just stay healthy and demonstrate that he knows the playbook and can actually handle himself in pass protection, he should have a clear shot at earning a large amount of carries this year.
He didnt really check those boxes last year and with Gurley still around, it compounded the matter.
Just look at John Kelly as an example of how this coaching staff will not put you in the game until they are confident you know what your doing and are capable out there.
Akers could step in faster that we thought because all indications are, he is picking up the playbook fast and he has a solid reputation as a pass blocker coming out of college.
It's going to be interesting to see who steps up this year.
