. XZAVIER HENDERSON. B-. .

Xzavier, the younger brother of former Gator CJ Henderson, is still working to find his place in the Gators’ offense. They’ve used him a lot in the screen game this year, which has had some production. He’s got 19 catches for 162 yards, with a season-long of 28 yards.

There isn’t a lot to complain about when it comes to Henderson. He’s been catching the ball well and has looked good running after the catch.

The reason I have him graded a little lower than the other WRs is that we haven’t gotten to see the explosiveness we’ve been hearing about in game action yet. He’s yet to make a man miss and purely outrun the defense for a score.

If he can start doing that in the latter half of the season, he’ll be a lethal option in the UF passing game.
