After watching Cj Henderson play RB in his Hudl highlights could he possibly play RB for canes? I mean this kid has rocket speed and runs through the 2nd level and its ballgame over. He's got that Dalvin Cook burst, and with Richt looking for home run hitters on offense,is it possible there is a war over whether he plays defense or offense? I know we have him projected at DB, but he can certainly be a home run hitter for Richts backfield. Also, getting him the ball on screens,slot,wherever to get him touches. He may be a 2 way player where he gets touches on offense too.

He's a corner here...we need him to be
 
I personally would love to offer him the opportunity to get some offensive touches. May help in recruitment as well. If other teams offer that opportunity I'd like us to be flexible enough in our recruitment of him to let him know he can get reps on offense as well.
 
No doubt we need him at CB. But just offering him the opportunity to play a little Jabrill Peppers role, and maybe just throw it out there as possible to get a few touches a game. If only to help in recruiting. Really want this Darrian Felix kid and Anthony McFarland.
 
I wouldn't be opposed to that... Especially with how deep that 2018 deep class is and the 2017 one as well. Dual threat athlete lets make it happen. Need that speed on offense
 
Last year I really thought he would play offense at the next level, but no doubt with his closing speed he could develop into a nice corner.
 
Nope....Cook was 20 lbs heavier outta hs two different frames.... CB is the perfect position.
 
Listen there's no doubt he can play CB at big time level. But watching his RB highlights makes it awful tempting to get him touches on offense. Don't forget, those were Jr highlights. He's for the off season before his senior year of HS, then off season before his freshmen year at the U to pack on some weight. Cause **** does he look LETHAL as an offensive weapon. Just put the highlights on and watch him run like everyone else is standing still. Wouldn't be opposed to a jabrill peppers role for him.

I wrote about this a few weeks back. He would be the best running back on our current squad if he were here now. I love the way he runs. He is decisive - little wasted motion with very good speed. Look at his highlights. The first 5 minutes are of him scoring TDs. I stop counting at about 15. Maybe his money position is CB, but there is no question he is a great running back. Corner Elder was the #2 running back in the state of Tennessee when he came out. I wanted to see what he could do with the ball in his hands, but his move to cornerback has worked out.

He plays 8A ball in Miami. The competition is good, he's just ******* fast. I'm an alumni of Columbus and the coaches tell me he's legit fast.
 
CBs need speed too. Just because a kid is fast doesn't mean we have to put him on offense.
 
When he can run by 2nd level defenders like they standing still it's gotta be considered. I'm telling u watch his highlights.

I would love to see Henderson on the offensive side of the ball as well. Kid has superstar potential with the ball in his hands.
