The Jacksonville Jaguars lost a lot on the defensive side of the ball, including two Pro Bowl cornerbacks in Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. That said, they’ve decided to bolster the position with the selection of Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson with pick No. 9 of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Henderson was regarded as the second-best cornerback of the 2020 NFL Draft class by most, only under Ohio State’s Jeff Okudah. His addition will give the Jags a new No. 1 cornerback after they traded Ramsey last year and he’ll join Tre Herndon to make for the team’s new tandem on the outside.
His dominance at cornerback earned him first-team All-SEC honors in 2019. He was also able to garner 33 tackles and 11 pass breakups in 2019 while facing elite receivers like Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, and Ja’Marr Chase.
