The Denver Broncos have selected Carlos Henderson with the 82nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Here is how he can impact the Broncos on the depth chart.

Denver has finally found their receiver in the third round. They decided to go with Carlos Henderson with the 82nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

This is the pick that a lot of Broncos fans and media members have been looking for. The team has been looking for a third wide out to play in the slot. While Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders play the outside, Carlos Henderson can pick up those third downs from the middle of the field.

Not to mention that he was one of the best players to break tackles. And that is something that will be key in order to gain more yards.

Cameron Wolfe from The Denver Post provided a very interesting stat.

That is quite impressive. So, how does Carlos Henderson impact the Broncos depth chart?

He can impact it in a huge way. He will most likely compete with Jordan Taylor and Bennie Fowler for time on the field.

But perhaps Carlos Henderson’s biggest role will be on special teams. His abilities to break tackles and score touchdowns whenever he touches the football will make the special teams electric.

The Denver Broncos have been looking for the playmaker as a returner since Trindon Holliday was not brought back.
