Instincts

It’s one thing to have speed; it’s another to speed AND instincts. Darrell Henderson has both.

As crazy as it may sound right now, the Rams won’t experience much of a drop off in terms of instincts as a playmaker when Henderson replaces Todd Gurley in the lineup. He may not have the kind of intimidating power to ground-and-pound a defense, but he’ll be just as effective as an elusive, plant-and-go runner who will use the defense’s momentum against itself.

Get the ball in Henderson’s hands and enjoy the show.
