Taurean Henderson (born January 20, 1983 in Gatesville, Texas) is a multi-purpose running back, who played football at Texas Tech. Although having never rushed for 1,000 yards in a season, he averaged more than 75 receptions a season since his sophomore year. As of 2006, he ranked third in all-time receptions, out of all players including wide receivers. He has caught over 300 passes in his career.

Although he was projected by some as a mid-round NFL prospect, Henderson went unchosen in the 2006 NFL draft. However, immediately following the draft he signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Vikings. He has since been signed by the Atlanta Falcons, who allocated him to NFL Europa where he played for the Rhein Fire.
