The Steelers’ hard-nosed, physical style of football is legendary, but they need explosiveness at the running back position. Najee Harris has flashed it, but the offense in Pittsburgh could use a boost. Meet Henderson.
With rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels leading the way, the Commanders are building a complementary offense. The addition of a playmaker such as Henderson would take pressure off Daniels and stretch defenses.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs already have a high-powered offense, but head coach Andy Reid is a fan of do-it-all backs who can catch the ball and exploit mismatches. Henderson fits this mold perfectly.
Trevor Lawrence plays best with an even attack. Henderson would be the perfect complement to Travis Etienne Jr. With Etienne frequently employed in space, Henderson might be the between-the-tackles grinder that can take it the distance.
