Among the fans of the Los Angeles Rams first-round draft pick is a former member of their coaching staff, Raheem Morris. The Rams former defensive line coach’s opinion of the selection was solicited on Twitter. Here is what he had to say;

Los Angeles Rams Draft Pick Praise

“Great pick! Violent football player with who In my opinion should be the most productive out of all the rookies in this years class. He has the speed to power 1st mindset which is the number 1 rush in the league. You have to be able to rush with speed to power and build everything else from that! I love this pic[k].”

Henderson obviously knows a thing or two about the position, considering he played defensive end and has coached the defensive line since 2012, including his stint with the Rams (2019-2023) and in his current role as Co-defensive coordinator/defensive line coach/run game coordinator with the USC Trojans.
