Yahoo Sports NFL on Emmanuel Henderson
From the article
"It's one of the reasons, for sure, but why stop there?" and "He should be trying to be an All-Pro returner, too. He should be thinking of being a great receiver in our league as well."
STACKED’s take
Macdonald wants Henderson as All-Pro returner and receiver, not just roster depth.
Seahawks rookie sixth-round pick Emmanuel Henderson is being developed by head coach Mike Macdonald for multiple roles beyond special teams. Macdonald stated after Sunday's preseason game—in which Henderson caught one pass, returned two kickoffs, and was a gunner on punts—that Henderson should aspire to be an All-Pro returner and a great receiver in the league. Macdonald emphasized that special teams is "one of the reasons" Henderson is in Seattle, "but why stop there?" Henderson's college tape at Kansas showed first-team All-Big 12 returner and third-team All-Big 12 receiver honors in one year after transferring from Alabama, suggesting Macdonald believes Henderson has significant untapped potential across multiple positions.
