In Miami, former Gators cornerback CJ Henderson sat on a white couch surrounded by family awaiting a phone call from one of the NFL’s 32 teams on the first night of the 2020 NFL draft. If his phone rang, the defensive back would be UF’s 53rd first-round pick in school history.
With the ninth overall pick, Henderson was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Congrats @HendersonChris_ . Your focus, hard work, and commitment to being the best at Florida made everyone around you better. We are excited about your future. #GatorMade @Jaguars pic.
