Seahawks selected Kansas WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr. with the No. 199 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Henderson (6’1”/185) is an undersized receiver who finally earned a meaningful role in his fourth collegiate season after transferring to Kansas in 2025. A former four-star recruit who originally committed to Alabama as a running back in 2022, Henderson never logged a rush attempt while with the Tide and eventually switched to receiver. In his lone season with the Jayhawks he totaled 45 receptions for 766 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 17.0 YPR and a 15 ADOT. He displayed an impressive ability to create after the catch, averaging a 7.0 yards after the catch per reception. He flashed as a return man throughout his college career, returning 25 kicks for 570 yards and one touchdown, and can also contribute on the punt coverage team.
