High-motor, versatile DE with proven production and playmaking upside
Henningsen is a sturdy, high-effort defensive end who built his reputation at Wisconsin on versatility, reliability and disruption, finishing his Badgers career with 91 tackles, 13.0 tackles for loss and 8.0 sacks across 42 games, plus 3 fumble recoveries and 2 touchdowns. He was a team captain in 2021 and helped anchor elite run defense, which says more about his toughness and discipline than raw stats alone. In the NFL, he has shown he can stay active across a full season and contribute as a rotational front-seven piece, making him a fit for teams that value assignment soundness, effort and interior-outside flexibility.[10][12][1][2]
