After having an accomplished career at Wisconsin, Matt Henningsen entered the 2022 NFL Draft. He did not hear his name called during the first two days, but ultimately in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected him with their 206th overall selection.

Henningsen is a 6’3”, 291-pound defensive lineman who showed flashes during his rookie year when given a chance and could be in line to start this upcoming season. The Broncos lost Dre’Mont Jones and DeShawn Williams to free agency so there are spots open along their defensive line. The Broncos did sign Zach Allen during free agency to replace Dre’Mont Jones, but there is no clear Williams replacement on the roster. So, Henningsen has a shot to earn that job this summer.
Now, Henningsen is entering his first full NFL offseason and is looking to compete for a starting job this summer for the Denver Broncos. He will face some competition for that job, but after coming off a promising rookie season, we could see Henningsen go from a rotational player to a starter in his second season with the team.

Broncos defensive lineman Matt Henningsen’s 2023 outlook
After having a promising rookie season, especially for a sixth-round selection, Henningsen is competing for a starting job along the Broncos’ defensive line. D.J. Jones will be the nose tackle while Zach Allen will replace Dre’Mont Jones at one of the defensive end spots. That leaves one spot open and Henningsen is in an open competition for that job.
