UF cornerbacks Marco Wilson, CJ Henderson forge a close bond despite their differences

Three Gators football players waited patiently in front of a blue curtain during UF media day.

In the middle sat a soft-spoken artist. On the right, a humble recluse. And on the left, a boisterous ringleader.

Junior safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, the man on the left, gave his assessment of the two others. He left no room for interpretation.

“I’ve got the best two corners in the SEC,” Gardner-Johnson said, gesturing toward the others.

That’s how highly Gardner-Johnson values cornerbacks Marco Wilson and CJ Henderson. The pair of sophomores figure to see the field often in Florida’s defensive scheme, due to both a lack of experienced depth behind them and a laundry list of accomplishments between them.
