Erin Henderson might be the single most underrated player in the league. In his first year as a starter, he ended up grading out as the 4^th best 4-3 outside linebacker on ProFootballFocus. Most of the league hasn’t really caught up to that yet because there’s only so much tape you can watch (meanwhile ProFootballFocus watches every snap of every game), but Henderson really is a good one.

He was only a 2 down run stuffer last season, but only two outside linebackers (Von Miller and Jarret Johnson) graded out as better against the run at his position. This year he’s expected to become a 3 down player as his teammate and brother EJ Henderson is not expected back and he could move to middle linebacker. He might not be capable of that, but for 2 million over 1 year, he’s an absolute bargain even if he remains a 2 down run stuffer for the whole season.

Grade: A
