CJ Henderson

I’m excited to see what he does this year.

Everyone talked how he wasn’t motivated and didn’t like football and wasn’t having fun.

This guy is enjoying it right now.  And if Horn can stay healthy.  This could be a scary Duo

 

Smitty said yesterday that Henderson was locking down DJ

His entire demeanor is different this season.

Good to see. Hope he has found some peace with his mental health.

A much better bet, and an exponentially better deal than Darnold. That (and the Baker trade) is how you work the system. Wait until after he shows well during 2022, and then exercise that 5th year option in 2023.

Man if he plays to his potential this would be a massive W for the Panthers long term

Good closeout by CJ, but why did they go for the jump ball pass when Robbie had him beat with good separation?

Let’s not even discuss 5th year options yet. I get PTSD even talking about them this early.

Dude just finished year 2 and aside from DJ, our WRs are below/well below average in the NFL. Hopefully, they improve off of 2021 but even that highlight above looked more like a bad throw or bad route. RA has him easily beat off the line but the ball and route go back to CJ. If that throw/route goes toward the sideline where RA had a good step on him, it’s an easy first down or more.

Henderson has reportedly been doing well the entire camp though, so much so that even 89 gave him some props.

Potentially a high point rep? Hard to say without knowing if there was a specific point to this rep.

Wilks found what he needed to get him out of his shell. Speaks volumes about Wilks tbh.

This, absolutely, Wilks knows what he is doing.

Wilks took him out to dinner when they first got back. Doubt that happened in Jacksonville, sounds like he was caught off guard with a coach treating him like a human being

Great to hear. Having a top shelf position coach is something I was excited to see with him in particular.

TMJ was tearing poo up last year, right? Did CJ get beat off the line in that highlight and did that look like a great route and throw to you? Be honest.

Well that's kind of the point. It's only one play of many. He got beat, but he closed well, and honestly even if the ball was placed to the outside, Robbie is probably headed out of bounds even after the completion. Robbie may have been initially looking for Baker to come back to the inside, I don't know, but I think that a better camera angle would give us a better perspective.

Crazy how these types of interactions are somehow shocking in this day. Wilks is old school, courtesy, treating people like you want to be treated. Just being a decent human being. It goes a long way today, simply because it's a scarce interaction or event.
