Can LA Rams RB Darrell Henderson bench Todd Gurley this year?

The LA Rams did not randomly draft running back Darrell Henderson in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Whether it was an insurance policy, a subtle message, or simply the attraction of adding a potential returner to the special teams, the move created a statement to the organization and the fans. That statement delivered to everyone was pretty obvious. The Rams wanted more oomph in a running game which relied far to heavily upon veteran runner CJ Anders to close out the 2018 playoffs.

Fresh legs, and more speed. Those were the answers sought by the Rams from the 2019 NFL Draft.
