Canadian offensive lineman Niklas Henning has signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, per jdunk_12. He recently participated in the team's rookie mini-camp.
The six-foot-six, 298-pound blocker was the second overall pick in the 2026 CFL Draft, which was held on Tuesday. He was selected by the Toronto Argonauts, who now own his CFL rights in perpetuity.
Henning was named a first-team Ontario University Athletics all-star and second-team All-Canadian after helping Queen's University with the 117th Yates Cup in 2025. He's an ultra-athletic lineman represented by longtime partners Craig Schaeffer and Fred Weinrauch.
At the 2026 CFL Combine, ran a 4.90-second 40-yard dash, 4.82-second short shuttle, and 7.77 three-cone drill. He also recorded a 31.5-inch vertical jump, a nine-foot, six-inch broad jump, and repped 225 pounds 27 times on the bench press.
