Good to see him getting in lots of games and action.. Shame cuz I doubt he will be back in the cfl for a long time.. Well, shame for the cfl but exceptional for him :)

it's a special teams position where there is a lot of competition every year to take his job. Big test is next offseason to see how long he is down in the NFL.

The problem for Henoc in the NFL with the Special Teamers is that GMs will always want to give precedence to their draft picks to not only give them playing time to develop but will favor them because they invested a draft pick on them.

 

You have to be an absolute beast to stay on as a special team player.  If you are equal or only marginally better, they will keep the draft pick over you.  Politics come into play.

Henoc is currently a roster spot placeholder.  If he doesn't play his way up the depth chart, his name will be one of the ones on the expendable short list when the Colts acquire someone they consider more interesting.

 

But Cory Greenwood turned Chiefs special teams player into a 4 year career in the NFL before the bubble burst for him.  Every team has a slightly different personnel situation.  Muamba may survive on the bubble for a long time.

The Colts are also a top-tier team in the NFL.  Their castoffs tend to get picked up by other teams.  Even if Henoc were to lose his job with the Colts, I wouldn't expect him back in the CFL immediately.

He'll probably end up with a good career bouncing around between Jacksonville and Tennessee.
