Darrell Henderson<\/b> made six starts and appeared in 13 games for the Memphis Tigers during his freshman year in 2016. His sophomore year is where a huge leap in production started. He played in 12 games, 10 of those he started in. He ran for over 1,000 yards on just 130 carries, also totaling nine rushing touchdowns. He was Memphis\u2019 first 1,000-yard rusher since 2012 and his 1,154 yards landed as sixth-most for a season in school history.<\/span><\/p>\n

His junior year, Henderson started all 13 of the Tigers games. He owned a gaudy 8.9 rushing yards per carry that year as he compiled 1,909 rushing yards which were second-most in the FBS. He also had 22 touchdowns which tied him for the lead in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through Henderson\u2019s first two seasons of college, he piled up just 217 carries. His final year he had 214. His draft stock will be benefited from his low volume at Memphis. His production is another huge bonus as he was one of the most productive running backs in college in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n
