The Jacksonville Jaguars have drafted Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida
Entering the draft after three years at Florida, Henderson was widely thought of as one of the most athletic defensive backs in the draft, showcasing elite-level speed at the 2020 NFL Combine by running a 4.39 40-yard dash. Henderson is widely thought of as the second-best cornerback in this year’s class behind former Ohio State cornerback Jeffery Okudah.
With the Gators, Henderson tallied 93 tackles, six interceptions, and 20 defensed passes over the past three years, earning first team All-SEC (coaches) in 2019, and second team All-SEC for coaches along with the Associated Press over his sophomore and freshman years, respectively.
