When the 2020 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, Ohio State CB Jeff Okudah is expected to be the first cornerback drafted.
However, he should be followed shortly thereafter by Florida CB CJ Henderson, who has been rocketing up draft boards in recent weeks.
On Tuesday, he joined ESPN’s Maria Taylor for an Instagram Live interview. In the interview, he said he believes he’s the best corner in the 2020 draft class (via 247Sports):
“I feel like I’m the best because I go against the best week-in and week-out,” Henderson told Taylor on the Instagram live interview. “I stepped on the scene early and played coming out of high school. Throughout college, it was really my first three years playing full-time corner. Me being able to do it at a high level and do it so quickly, I feel like I’m the best in the draft.”
Henderson finished his 3 years at Florida with 93 total tackles, 4.0 sacks and 6 interceptions.
Where will he end up playing his football on Sundays? He should be coming off the board in the middle of the first round on Thursday.
