Daiyan Henley has led the Chargers in tackles for three consecutive seasons. Third year wearing the green dot. Second as a captain.
He’s 26 and in the final year of his rookie deal. Given the price the Broncos paid, I’d guess they give him a new contract.
Henley is a former college wide receiver who switched to linebacker and became Washington State’s first Butkus Award finalist. Receiver skills show up in coverage. Only NFL player with 120+ tackles and 8+ PBUs in 2024.
He was picked No. 85 in 2023, two spots behind Riley Moss.
New #Broncos LB Daiyan Henley started at QB as a 15-year-old former ball boy at Crenshaw High. He also played S, DE, WR, and even placekicker, then went to college as a receiver before becoming an NFL tackling machine.
His versatility is on another level.
Daiyan Henley will thrive in Vance Joseph’s defense. A top young LB in the league. Had 100+ tackles in each of the past two seasons.
Great move by Denver.
