I think the thing with Henry is that you can teach decision making and drill it home pretty easy. You can't teach physical ability like he has.
I think he's the most naturally gifted CB Canada has produced since Randy Samuel. Guys like DeVos were smarter players but didn't have his natural ability. Who knows if he will realize it. Nice to see him get better coaching and some stability anyway, TFC has been a gong show.
