Now that I think about it, Henderson kind of reminds me of Jarvis Landry.

Gabriel definitely has him on speed, but Henderson is bigger and more physical. They're both explosive and shifty in space and that's where I see the comparison and how he would be used here.

10. CARLOS HENDERSON, Louisiana Tech (5-11, 202, 4.52, 3-4): Joins Curtis Samuel as the two best run-after-the-catch WRs in draft, according to one scout. "He's in that Emmanuel Sanders-Antonio Brown mold coming out," said another scout. "He doesn't have elite size but he's got twitch and is explosive. He'll have nuances to develop from a route-running standpoint but he's got all the tools." Fourth-year junior with 147 catches for 2,878 (19.6) and 28 TDs. "They limited the route tree that he ran but he can run by people," said a third scout. "He's got really good vertical speed." From New Orleans. Added a fourth scout: "Every time he touches the ball it's a potential touchdown."

With the ball in his hands he really reminds me of 49er great John Taylor.
A little shorter in measured height but he plays bigger than he is.

Second reference to John Taylor I've seen in The last two days. Polian, last night, compared Corey Davis to John Taylor too.
Nice to see Taylor still getting love.

Don't believe Shanahan has ever had someone quite like Henderson who is so outstanding in the open field. He's not so much a vertical threat as he is a YAC machine.

I'd be pumped, he'll be drafted a similar area to my mid round crush Josh Reynolds, but I'd still love to get Henderson

If we end up taking two WRs in the fourth...one shifty, one big bodied(So maybe 1 TE), that'd make one crazy TC for us lol. Henderson and Evans/Malone/Hodges/Everett/Kettle possible guys in range.

Yup, I think PFF compared him to Tavon Austin. He's a few inches taller and bigger than Austin is, but you probably use them the same way. Get the ball in their hands on quick passes, screens and let them pick up YAC.
