Philadelphia Eagles 2019 NFL Draft watch: Darrell Henderson, Greedy Williams

The Philadelphia Eagles are in the market for a running back and a cornerback in the 2019 NFL Draft, and it appears they’re giving Darrell Henderson and Greedy Williams a look.

You should have no fear if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan. ‘The Birds’ are doing their due diligence as the 2019 NFL Draft approaches. We’re officially less than a month away from Philly announcing who the newest Eagles will be, and they’re definitely doing their fair share of scouting. You should too, and while you’re doing so, go ahead and familiarize yourself with Darrell Henderson and Greedy Williams.

You’ve probably heard about Williams a lot by now. He’s a cornerback who made a name for himself at the collegiate level with the LSU Tigers. Henderson is a running back from Memphis. The latter had the New Orleans Saints, New York Jets and Tennessee Titans work him out.

Take a look at the report from Ian Rapoport’s ‘RapSheet’:

Running back drills at Memphis’ Pro Day were overseen by Eagles assistant head coach Duce Staley. NFL.com compares him to Tevin Coleman and had this to say in his draft profile:

"He checks in slightly undersized, doesn’t have great vision and runs with a narrow base that makes him easier to tackle, but so far, those concerns haven’t slowed him one bit. Big-play production is impossible to ignore, but his running style makes him best-suited to a complementary slasher role in a spread-based attack. In basketball, Henderson would be the explosive sixth man with the ability to swing certain games in your favor if he catches fire. On the ground or out of the backfield, Henderson can catch fire."

We move on to Andraez Williams better known as ‘Greedy’ (that’s a cool name for a corner). Williams racked up 71 total tackles (49 were solo), eight interceptions, and 19 batted balls during his 24-game career in ‘Death Valley’. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com compares this six-foot-two, 185-pound defensive back to Antoine Cason in his draft profile.

PhiladelphiaEagles.com gave us their thoughts on him recently, and here’s what they had to say:

Here’s more from Zierlein:

"Long, athletic cornerback who is more smooth and fluid than twitchy and sudden in his coverage. Williams has the instincts and tools to play a variety of coverages, but his length and pattern-matching talent will likely get him drafted to handle press-man duties. His ball production dropped a little from 2017 and he continued to struggle with finding the ball downfield, but he is rarely ever out of position. He needs to get stronger and more competitive in run support, but he has the talent and traits to become a CB1."

Might Philly land Williams? If not, would the 3,545 yards, 36 rushing touchdowns, and 8.2 yards-per-carry average Henderson racked up over 38 games be enough to convince Philly to use a draft selection on him? Oh, and by the way, he also added 63 career receptions, 758 yards and eight receiving touchdowns.

We have a little over three weeks until April’s annual selection meeting, but it will be here before you know it. Until then, do a couple of YouTube searches on these guys. You’re sure to find some quality entertainment.
