| Strengths | Henne has great size and a physical presence, looks the part; seasoned leader of a top program who has played well with, and against, NFL talent; has a rifle arm with an almost effortless release; stands tall, sees the field well and has a high release point; throws an outstanding deep ball; often looks flawless when given a solid pocket and time to get comfortable; good leader who understands that not all guys respond to the same tactics; has the confidence and intangibles everyone wants in a QB.
|
| Weaknesses | He tends to throw the ball too hard on checkdowns; to say he lacks mobility is akin to saying Bobby Knight has a temper, almost a complete statue; has a long wind-up and needs space to step into his throws or else his accuracy plummets; doesn’t always feel the rush even when it’s up the gut; will force balls and give up the ball too frequently. Has dealt with shoulder and knee issues but looked very healthy in Mobile. As one director of scouting told me, “Henne is the best QB in this draft if you put him behind a good O-line and get him a really deep threat, but if the line is shaky he’s no better than a bigger, slower Rex Grossman”.
