Drew Henson

[MGinestre]

Word is Houston is looking for a second round pick for Henson. If they don't trade or sign him, he re-enters the draft is projected to go late in the first round.

Also heard his stock is rising after working with a QB coach to get into football shape. He would be a nice backup this season and starter in 2005. Any thoughts?

The question mar though is "if" he can return to form then yes but there is no way of knowing that. I really like dhim before he started playing baseball instead. Also when would it be known he would reenter the draft? Would it be this year? Is there a deadline on that?

welcome to The Zone.


if houston doesn't sign or trade him,he'll be going to miami or green bay in the draft.unless we trade down to the #19 spot.....

Screw Hensen he has been out too long, besides every team that drafts him he screws over to play baseball and he is'nt ever gonna make it with the Skankees

[The Spaz]

H eonly got drafted twice once in baseball and one in football.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I wouldn't take him in the first round. He has been away from the game too long and would be about 25 or 26 years old right?

[TedMock]

Believe it or not, he's only going to be 24 next month! He split time with Brady as a Freshman and became the full time starter his sophmore year. By his senior year he was the preseason Heisman favorite but never played that season.....went to the Yanks instead. I'd really have to read about workouts and commitment to football before I make a judgement call on him.

Another Chris Weinke, perhaps?

[socalfan]

He left school as a true sophmore, last year was the first year he could be drafted, so in fact he isn't any older than the typical guy guys coming out as a senior.

He's 5-6 years younger than Weinke though.

Not sure how accurate this is but it seems on par with my recollection of everything.

BIO: High school sensation and unanimous #1 QB prospect in the nation coming out of high school. Split time with Tom Brady his freshman year and then took over as starter in his sophomore season. Injuries cost him the first part of his junior season but he still managed to lead Michigan to a Citrus Bowl appearance and win. Henson entered his Senior season with the Wolverines as title contenders and himself a Heisman contender but left before the season to pursue a baseball career with the Yankees. He was still selected in the 4th Round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.

To hell with him. We don't need to fork up a 2nd rounder for a backup for the next couple of years.
