Atlanta Falcons Land CJ Henderson in Bold Signing

The Atlanta Falcons have signed cornerback CJ Henderson. Henderson was once considered one of the NFL’s most promising young cornerbacks. Selected ninth overall in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, he entered the league with high expectations thanks to his elite speed, smooth coverage skills, and standout college career. CJ Henderson, who attended the University of Florida, was chosen by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the ninth overall choice in the 2020 NFL Draft. Henderson participated in and started eight Jaguars games as a rookie. He recorded 36 tackles, six pass breakups, an interception and a forced fumble. Due to a groin injury, Henderson was placed on injured reserve by the Jaguars in Week 11. That season, he didn’t play another game. The Jaguars traded Henderson to the Carolina Panthers on September 27, 2021, in return for tight end Dan Arnold. Before the deal, Henderson played 10 games with the Panthers and two with the Jaguars.
