Considering what he did at that level, Henderson certainly has a lot of talent. But as passing game coordinator Shane Waldron said during the offseason program, there’s also plenty for him to learn now that he’s reached the league.
“For Darrell, just like any other rookie, he’s got a lot to learn as far as building a foundation of the system in his own mind — not just in one particular area. And he’s done a great job picking it up and he’ll do nothing but grow as training camp gets here as well,” Waldron said.
Henderson has been described as a “change-of-pace” back, someone who can come in and perhaps do some things a little differently than Gurley or Malcolm Brown, Los Angeles’ primary backup. But that’s the case for most of that room, which also includes Justin Davis, John Kelly, and undrafted rookie Matt Colburn.
