MNF Intro: "Robert Henson, Linebacker, TCU"
Mark my words. This is going to be the random late round guy thats going to contribute on defense this year. For anyone who cares he's a Prime U prospect (Dieon Sanders football academy)
BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter awarded varying degrees of all-Conference honors since his freshman season. Senior totals included 73/9/1 when he also intercepted a pair passes. Totaled 66 tackles as a junior, 64 as a sophomore and 69 as a redshirt freshman.
POSITIVES: Tough, instinctive run-defending linebacker. Plays heads-up football, quickly diagnoses the action and takes good angles to the play. Works hard to get involved, and effectively uses his hands to protect himself. Does not bite on play-action passes and shows coverage ability in zone.
NEGATIVES: Just average quickness and speed to his game. Slow shedding blocks, and gets caught up in the traffic. Lacks top sideline-to-sideline range.
ANALYSIS: Henson is productive run defender who's been consistent and durable on the college level. He lacks great upside yet could competently fit in as a backup inside linebacker in a 3-4 alignment.
