"We just grew a close relationship. I think he's a great young coach. If not the best, one of the top defensive line coaches in the National Football League. From the things he's able to teach young guys, teach veteran guys, from technique things, to be able to put us in certain positions to try to have success. He's a guy that's always working over trying to find a way. He's never satisfied. And that's one thing that we kinda got the same mindset toward a lot of things. So, a lot of love and respect for Coach Henderson."
"Henderson is widely respected as a leader and motivator. He's a Super Bowl-winning coach with the Los Angeles Rams, and he'll now look to kickstart a defensive front that fell way short of expectations under Joe Whitt Jr. And an old quote from future Pro Football Hall of Famer Aaron Donald has only whetted the appetite further for Commanders fans pleading for change."
Eric Henderson has been hired as the Washington Commanders' defensive line coach and run-game coordinator after leaving a co-coordinator role at USC. The move signals confidence in coordinator Daronte Jones and an ambitious effort to rebuild the defensive front. Henderson is respected as a leader and motivator and arrives as a Super Bowl-winning coach with the Los Angeles Rams. He is expected to develop both veteran players and younger talent and to restore technique and mindset in the trenches following disappointing performance under Joe Whitt Jr. Public praise from Aaron Donald highlights Henderson's teaching ability and relentless work ethic.
