Denver needs defensive linemen with the versatility to play multiple spots within a one-gap 3-4 or 4-3 attacking front, excelling in creating disruption upfront.
Henningsen projects as a rotational defensive end in Year 1, with the potential to develop into a reliable starter known for his run defense and versatility across the defensive line.
He would be a poor fit in a two-gapping 3-4 scheme where his athletic limitations would be exposed in holding blocks rather than penetrating.
Henningsen's motor and versatility make him a valuable depth piece for a penetrating defense, but his modest athletic traits limit his ceiling as a primary pass rusher.
