02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Cover-3 press man, with additional looks at Cover-2, and some split-field zone principles.
Press man CBBoundary CBField CB
Best role
Immediate starter as a boundary corner, with the ceiling of a Pro Bowl outside shutdown corner.
Wrong fit
A purely off-zone heavy scheme that doesn't allow him to utilize his press coverage skills.
Henderson's combination of size, speed, and fluid movements makes him an ideal fit for man-heavy schemes that value athletic, press-man corners.
