I’ve got a feeling that Derrick Henderson Jr Derrick Henderson Jr Derrick Henderson Jr 5'8" | 215 lbs | LB Orange | 2027 NJ . provides some of the better tape of anyone on this list. I’m guessing of course, what leads me to believe that? Henderson showed up to flash running back skills, that he did. Yet first thing that I see is his weight. Don’t mean that in a demeaning way, the young freshman is already pushing 220. 220 but the kid was absolutely losing kids left and right during 1v1s. Again, he’s got some baby fat that most likely helps him provide quality reps at LB with pads. If he’s moving and catching the ball like this at this weight and age, I can only imagine what he’s capable of at LB on tape. Consistently, opposing LBs would take Henderson lightly, just for him to run past or juke LBs out of their cleats. He left a lasting impression on me. Fantastic hands as well.
