Pick Analysis: Henson is a shorter linebacker who runs really well. He will provide the Redskins with special teams help, but he's not ready yet to contribute consistently on the defensive side of the ball.
Overview
High School
Overshadowed by teammates Stephen Hodge and Jason Phillips, Henson has been more than a solid complement inside in the Horned Frogs' defense. He earned first-team All-Mountain West accolades in 2008 (73 tackles, nine for loss, two interceptions) after three consecutive honorable mention selections.
His athleticism and desire to play football makes him a good inside linebacker and special teams prospect.
High School
Earned All-East Texas and all-district first team honors as a senior at Longview High School... Was a second team Class 5A all-state selection by The Associated Press and was the District 11-5A Defensive Player of the Year... Logged 129 tackles, including 13 tackles for loss... Recorded two sacks, two interceptions and two blocked kicks as a senior playing for Pat Collins... Selected TCU over Arkansas and Nebraska.

Analysis
Injury Report
Positives: Plays with nastiness and aggression. Reliable open-field tackler and can be a punisher inside the tackles. Closes to the ball quickly, and comes hard downhill when blitzing. Hustles sideline to sideline; seems to always around the ball. Good change of direction ability to cover tight ends and fullbacks in the flat. Adequate hands for the interception. Team leader on and off the field.
Negatives: A bit undersized and not the superior athlete teams want from a starter. Slips blocks instead of taking them on and shedding. Does not break down in space, and will overrun plays and can be easily avoided by quick ballcarriers. Took advantage of TCU's pressure scheme against lesser competition. Arrested in April 2007 for unlawful carrying of a weapon, but the case was eventually dismissed. Missed 2008 Poinsettia Bowl due to academic issues.
