An undrafted rookie out of UTSA, Robert Henry Jr. was signed off the Commanders’ practice squad and onto the Seahawks’ active roster today. With rookie RB Jadarian Price going on injured reserve and Zach Chabronnet still working his way back from a major knee injury, Henry arrives to bolster a shorthanded Seahawk backfield, filling in behind Emanuel Wilson, and George Holani.
Undersized for a bellcow role with a 28.9 BMI (28th percentile), Henry wins with burst over straight-line speed. His athletic testing reveals an 80th-percentile Burst Score (124.9) alongside an uninspiring 43rd-percentile Speed Score (93.9). Still, his collegiate efficiency at UTSA speaks for itself, boasting a 96th-percentile college YPC. Right now, he’s purely an injury-dependent handcuff behind the players ahead of him.
