Henderson

They also added LB Davis Tull. Henderson appeared in five games for the Giants on special teams last year. He’ll compete for a return job in Jacksonville.

Henderson was let go by the Giants earlier this week, but was only unemployed for 48 hours before landing on the Jets’ roster. The former Pitt Panther contributed as a return man for the G-Men last year (nine punt returns for 68 yards and 112 yards on five kick returns), but didn’t see the field on offense. If he makes the Jets’ roster, it will most likely be as a special teamer.

Henderson appeared in five games as the Giants’ kick returner last year. Getting waived at this stage is a bad sign for his NFL future.

The UDFA rookie return man doesn’t have a catch but was the punt returner.

Henderson (5’8/192) turned pro after three seasons with the Pitt Panthers, logging 45 career catches and 98 rushing attempts as a gadget player on offense. He made his mark on special teams, scoring four kickoff return TDs and three on punt returns. Henderson showed underwhelming speed for his size in Indy, however, running 4.5-flat and testing as a 26th-percentile SPARQ athlete. Unlikely to become an offensive factor in the NFL, Henderson’s ticket to a career will come strictly in the return game.
