So happy to never hear the nickname DaHen again.

Apparently Henderson is still rehabbing his ankle. This was supposed to be a minor thing, I thought.

He'll be locked and loaded for the LAR RB3 role.

I think you'll be disappointed in your early first rookie pick if you're expecting that.

saving this for later

From an inside souce... buy now. that's about as detailed as I can be

I hope you’re right. I just bought for two 2020 1sts.

Henderson’s season ending ankle surgery wasn’t covered in the forum much or even at all.

It appears No Riskit and Johnny B Goode are the same person (name change). So yeah, he was a little off on that one. Curious about that inside source, though.

"Darnell Anderson, is that you...???"

Looks like he’s good to go.

As a Henderson owner, I’m way concerned over the rumors that he couldn’t get on the field last year because he couldn’t pick up his assignments in the offense. The ability is there, but if he’s that obtuse then he’s looking like a huge bust. It would also explain the Akers pick despite so many other obvious holes on the team.

Well, he claims he is if they started today, but that's easy to say since they don't. He also says he's moving "pretty good" which doesn't sound as rosy. Seems to be on track for camp, though.

If you search my posts and read the 2 articles I wrote on Darrell Henderon, this was my biggest complaint over and over. You could go back 2-3 pages on this thread alone to see some of it.

All players enter the NFL with talent. These are the best of the best. One thing that separates those who can from those who can't is mental capacity. When I read articles or watch interviews from the all-time greats in the NFL, this is repeated most often along with work ethic. DH doesn't have it. RoJo doesn't have it. VAUGHN -- watch out folks -- doesn't have it.

I avoid such players at all costs.

Not that I don't agree (I steer away from guys who seem less professional as well), but there have been some VERY good players that don't come across as professionals.
I'm curious to hear your input on this. HOW are you gauging their mental capacity? Is it their dialect in an interview? How many times they say "umm" "y'know what I'm sayin" and "erybody"...? Is it what prior coaches say about them picking up on the system? Is it a response of pure cliche answers in interviews? By mental capacity do you moreso mean their ability to pick up on the rigorous demands of the workouts and expanded playbooks far beyond what was asked of them in college? And if so, how do you so confidently judge their ability to make that jump? I'd just like to know how you are so confident in another individual's "mental capacity." I'm not criticizing. I'm looking for clarity of your view/analysis.

That's a good point and id like to hear the take on that

beat reporter deleted this tweet, said she misheard him. If rotoworld leaves that blurb out there it makes me question what else they miss

I don’t own any part of this backfield but I remember reading Henderson was #1 in broken tackle percentage among RBs with 20+ carries. Every time I saw him play he reminded me of Aaron Jones during his first and second year- very explosive and efficient. The blown assignment thing is a red flag and he has to correct that this year to get any playing time, but his owners might be able to salvage something from him going forward.

I’m not a big fan of Akers but I think he ends up getting the bulk of the carries and Henderson is used in an Aaron Jones type role of maybe 10 touches a game. I can see Henderson being the primary receiving back, especially since the coach says he wants to use everyone and that is the most logical role for Henderson as far as I’m concerned. Some concerning flags so far, and drafting Akers isn’t a great vote of confidence, but I also don’t see it as a sign LA is moving away from Henderson all together.
