Henderson’s (5’10/203) selection is somewhat surprising for an offense that already has two highly-paid backs and desperately needs receiver help, but the new brain trust has seemed low on both Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. They also apparently expect Henderson to immediately contribute as a pass catcher. The No. 1 running back recruit of the 2021 class, Henderson quickly made good on the hype with a 183/1,248/15 rushing line as a true freshman. He also added 27 catches for 312 yards and four touchdowns. Henderson’s next two seasons would be marred by various minor injuries, limiting him to 18 games in total. Both his efficiency and his volume dipped and Henderson failed to hit four digits on the ground in either season. The Ohio State boosters then recruited Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins to be the thunder to Henderson’s lightning. Henderson rebounded with 1,016 yards and 10 scores on just 144 attempts. He averaged 7.1 yards per carry and added 284 yards through the air. Every touch Henderson gets has the chance to end in the end zone. He averaged 11 touches in Ohio State’s four postseason appearances and still scored four touchdowns from at least 20 yards out, two of which came from 60+. While Henderson’s 4.43 Forty disappointed some, it’s still plenty fast and he plays quicker than his tested time. Having already been pigeonholed as a committee back in college, Henderson will hold the same fate in the pros, at least as a rookie. To begin his career, Henderson profiles as a third-down weapon for an OC in Josh McDaniels who has always featured such a role out of his backfield.

Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen. The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
