Xzavier Henderson

If you are looking for legitimate SEC speed, Xzavier Henderson has it.

Listed at 6-3, 195 pounds, the former four-star, top 100 overall prospect in the class of 2020 was the state champ in the 400 meter dash in Florida in 2019.

Given the arm strength of Anthony Richardson compared to Emory Jones, Henderson might be the receiver that benefits the most from having Richardson at the helm. Jones consistently underthrew receivers and rarely hit guys in stride down the field.

Richardson gives Henderson a much better chance to showcase his speed;.

After two relatively quiet seasons in Gainesville, this year might be Henderson’s chance to break out and provide Florida with a legit deep threat over the top.
