The Facts: Henderson has reached another hurdle in his attempt to get his NFL career going. A third-round draft pick by the Broncos last year, Henderson will start training camp on the Did Not Report list for what his agent told 9NEWS was for personal reasons.
Diehards Line:
The Broncos took Henderson in the third round last year with plans of developing him into their No. 3 receiver behind Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Instead, Henderson struggled during his first offseason camp before suffering a torn thumb in the preseason opener at Chicago. Henderson was placed on season-ending injured reserve before the regular season began. He was then arrested January 14 in Louisiana on a marijuana possession charge. He was slowed by a hamstring injury during the Broncos’ recent offseason program, prompting Joseph to call him out by saying, “He’s got to get back on the field if he wants to make the team." And now comes news Henderson will not be getting on the field when the other Broncos report. The Broncos protected themselves against Henderson’s slow development by drafting two receivers in April – Courtland Sutton in the second round and DaeSean Hamilton in the fourth.
