UF cornerback CJ Henderson 'a one-of-a-kind guy' for Gators

Another practice is in the books for the Florida football team. Sweat-soaked Gators in dirt-stained uniforms trudge back to the locker room.

CJ Henderson, shirt off and in his defensive stance across from fellow cornerback Trey Dean, stays behind. Work remains.

The scene plays out most evenings under the lights of UF’s indoor practice facility and offers a snapshot of how Henderson has developed into a future early-round NFL draft pick at a position he did not focus on until he arrived at UF.

“It just shows that he wants to be great,” receiver Josh Hammond said.
