4. CJ Henderson, Florida
Size: 6-1, 204
The Good: 4.39.
In a draft without a whole lot of blazers at corner, only three prospects came in with a sub 4.4 and Henderson was the best player of the group.
Long with good ball skills and great all-around athleticism, he’s got good size and effortlessly glides around the field. He might not be the most physical of defensive backs when it comes to pushing around receivers, but he came up with 93 tackles in his three years with six picks and 20 broken up passes.
And again, he can really move.

The Not-So-Good: There isn’t any worry about whether not he’ll help against the run, but he’s just okay at it. He’ll bring the pop once in a while to try and make the big play, but he’s best when he’s able to move around and make things happen when the ball is in the air.
NFL Draft College Perspective Thought: He might not be Jeff Okudah, but he’s good enough to be a fantastic first round get with all the skills to be a starter right out of the gate. Any knocks and concerns are no big deal as long as he can hold up through a full slate. With his size and speed, there are few real concerns.
Projected Round: First
