So I’ve seen some false narratives on #Rams 2019 3rd-round RB Darrell Henderson. It’s time to set the record straight with a thread.
1st: “Darrell Henderson is injury prone. He missed all of last year and he got hurt in college a ton too.”
Um no. Darrell Henderson was active for 13 out of 16 games last year for the #Rams and in 3 years at Memphis he played 38 games...Not injury prone. Stop spreading that!

2nd: “Darrell Henderson isn’t fast enough to be the guy. He doesn’t have breakaway speed.”
This is the same guy that ran a 4.37 at the combine...
next.

3rd: “Darrell Henderson can’t be a bellcow. He can’t withstand the responsibility to carry the ball like a true starter. He’s never done it.”
Except the time he had 214 carries in his junior year of college. But yes, he’s never done it before. Also, they aren’t asking him to...

4th: “Henderson lacks consistency.”
Henderson in the NFL maybe? Considering he was barely included in the offense. However, he didn’t have a year in college where he ran for less than 5.5 yards per carry. Even duplicated back to back 8.9 yards per carry seasons.

5th: “Henderson cant catch out of the backfield.”
Hm. Here’s a little stat comp for you. College receiving stats:
Gurley: 65 receptions, 615 yards, 6 TDs
Henderson: 63 receptions, 758 yards, 8 TDs
Gurley developed in that area. Why can’t Henderson?

6th: “Henderson is too small.”
5-8 - 207 pounds isn’t big enough? Height doesn’t matter and multiple running backs like Maurice Jones-Drew proved that but that’s not about him being small. Apparently 207 pounds isn’t big enough to be an NFL running back. Lol

7th: "Can't make anything happen on his own. He ran through wide open holes while at Memphis." https://twitter.com/JB_Long/status/1184193439799230464?s=20
I mean the seas didn't exactly part here but look Henderson finds a way to sneak through and hit the home run.
