Well you see...when a man loves a woman and she loves him back, they want to eventually express that with their bodies. I don't know how you're familiar with the female form but they have a thing called a vagina, and it is like a socket. And then, what happens is, like, the man will insert the penis inside that socket, and babies come out. Once you're in, it's over in 10 minutes. And then, if she really loves you, then you could do it again.

He's a guy at a position where there are a lot of guys.

It has to include: removal of clothing, foreplay, deed, clean up, awkward silence when putting clothing on, and time spent waiting for uber.

Back on topic to Hendo: If Hunt/Zeke aren't signed amongst other FA RB then I wouldn't assume a 5'8" 207lb back isn't a hot commodity.

Yeah moreso...I don't get why he was cut to begin with. He was their most efficient back. Most reliable, even though he was injury prone. From what we know, he didn't seem to be a locker room problem. He kept his head down and did his job. If there are any grievances, he doesn't take them to social media, but keeps it in house. Yet he was cut by not just the Rams (which I really didn't get) but then shortly after by Jacksonville.
He's a 25yo that has been pretty efficient in the NFL, and doesn't seem to have character concerns (at least none that are aired). He got more run than Pollard as teammates at Memphis, was more effective and efficient than Pollard. I'm not saying he is better now, as some guys get better and some regress...but he isn't without talent is all I'm saying. Him being an undesired free agent is what I don't get.

DH and Ronald Jones are the two RBs I've hated more than nearly everyone.

Every time I see this thread revived all I want to do is go back in time and be louder about my dislike for his skillset to the NFL level.

I hope he continues to get whatever he can while his body is still in good condition, and starts a new life anew doing whatever is next. He deserves the success he's had, but it won't ever be at the NFL caliber.

You’re right often enough to feel good, I’m sure, but think about a guy like McKinnon. Plenty of people felt entirely vindicated on their “right” call that he was not NFL worthy after his injury riddled years and then getting released and then sitting as a free agent for some time. LOTS of people just KNEW they were right about him all along…until he got another shot.
I could easily see Henderson sticking around the NFL, still having some NFL worthy contributions.

It's amazing how McKinnon has revived his career after bottoming out. Hard not to root for that man.

(cue Galaxy Quest theme song) Never give up. Never surrender.

McKinnon, to me anyway, always had more talent that he could lean on vs DH. McKinnon was never a between-the-tackles kind of back, and that's what teams tried to do with him. KC uses him outside a lot, and that's where he's best. You can't teach speed.

Henderson was never a guy that I thought fit the mold really anywhere on the field. He's a downhill runner but he's 5'8" and less than 210 pounds. Those two things just don't mesh well.

I don't know. I hope I'm wrong. Kid deserves what he's worked for. RBs make so little, I'd like to see him have one more shot just to earn a buck, if nothing else.

Timing is a really big factor in all of this too. Look at the list of current free agent RBs. There are a bunch of guys there who could be in a supporting committee role. Kenyan Drake for example can do a little bit of everything, and he's available.

But, we're now post-draft, and it's hard to find space for all of them. It's more likely they get one year deals or training camp invites in the next few months. Henderson's stats are fine, but he just doesn't stick out that much. And for whatever reason, when he got waived twice in a few weeks, that probably didn't help either.

5'8, 210 is good size for a RB. Right around what Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith were. Both legendary backs and no comparison career wise, but Henderson's definitely not limited in terms of BMI. 4.49 speed is pretty decent. College production fantastic. (8.9YPC) Early declare. Day 2 draft capital.... He's really not "that" bad.
