Tavon couldn’t even make up for Lance Dunbar. So Henderson is being brought in to play the role that McVay had envisioned that Dunbar would play on the team. McVay has already been quoted as saying that they tried to draft a a speedy running back last year, but each time someone would choose the player before them.
So this didn’t start with Gurley, has nothing to do with Tavon, but has everything to do with McVay’s plan all along In having a change of pace back. Thus why he signed Dunbar, but that failed, but didn’t change McVay’s plan. That is why he drafted Henderson.
