Henderson first joined the Jets during the 2004 NFL season.

Henderson soon accepted the defensive coordinator position for the Detroit Lions and new head coach, Rod Marinelli. The Lions went 3–13 in 2006 and finished the season ranked 27th out of 32 in total defense. Henderson was fired from his position on January 2, 2007.
In 2010, he was hired by the Arizona Cardinals as a defensive backs coach.
Henderson coached at Southern University in 2011 and was named the defensive backs coach at Syracuse University in 2012. He was hired by the Buffalo Bills in 2013 to coach the defensive backs. He was a coach in The Spring League in 2017.
In October 2018, he was announced as the defensive coordinator for the Salt Lake Stallions of the Alliance of American Football.
