Undrafted free agent Robert Henry Jr. is gaining attention as a potential addition to the Washington Commanders' 53-man roster ahead of training camp. Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport highlighted Henry's performance at UTSA, where he rushed for over 1,000 yards in his final season. The Commanders' running back corps, lacking a clear standout, has opened the door for competition among Henry and other backs like Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Kaytron Allen. Henry's ability to make quick cuts and his experience as a former junior college star enhance his chances of securing a spot. The Commanders hope Henry can translate his college success into a significant role as the season approaches.
