NFL Draft Prospect - Erin Henderson, LB, Maryland

by Imran Tahir, 1/11/08
Erin Henderson has declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft. This declaration has been in the works for weeks, with many inside the Terrapin football program speculating that Henderson was eager to join his brother E.J., also a Maryland football product and current LB for the Minnesota Vikings, in the NFL. Henderson has been very productive on defense for the Terps, racking up over 130 tackles (including 11 for a loss) this past season while fighting injuries. Workouts and interviews will be very significant for Henderson, as they could elevate his draft status to that of a 2nd Round pick. In any case, Henderson should be selected by the end of Round 3.
