The Seahawks selected Henderson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 199th overall.
Henderson (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) might be a better bet to make a roster than most other sixth-round rookie receiver selections, because Henderson is fully expected to stand out as a special-teams gunner. Henderson was a known special-teams presence even while he was a backup wideout at Alabama, but Henderson managed to log an encouraging season of wideout production in his one year at Kansas. The selection of Henderson might be a bad sign for 2025 seventh-round pick Ricky White, who was also largely selected for his special-teams ability.
