Robert Henry

Went undrafted in the 2026 class (projected as a UDFA despite some Day 3 grades) and signed with Washington with no draft capital invested, meaning he must win a 53-man spot outright in the August 2026 camp battle or risk waivers/practice squad.

The room he joined is crowded: Jacory Croskey-Merritt and drafted rookie Kaytron Allen sit ahead of him, with veterans Rachaad White, Jerome Ford, and Austin Ekeler also competing for touches, leaving no clear path to standalone volume.

His production came at UTSA against Group of Five defenses, and pre-draft scouting reports paired the gaudy efficiency with size concerns, so the college tape may not translate directly to NFL contact.

At 24 he is old for a rookie RB, compressing the window to develop before the position's typical decline curve begins.

Regarded as one of the most explosive backs in the 2026 class after a 2025 season at UTSA with 151 carries for 1,045 yards (6.9 YPC) and 9 rushing scores in 11 games, giving him a genuine big-play trait that wins camp jobs.

Any role he earns comes attached to a Jayden Daniels-led offense, where even rotational carries carry scoring upside and efficiency tailwinds.

On the eve of Washington's late-July 2026 training camp, national analysts (Bleacher Report) projected him to make the 53-man roster as a UDFA, a meaningful signal for a player with no draft pedigree.
