Chris Henry WR 6’5 195 West Virginia Jr.
By: Robert Davis

Chris Henry burst onto the college football scene as a sophomore, becoming one of the best playmakers at the WR position. His sophomore season was his first on the field, but he made the most of it. He hauled in 41 catches for 1,006 yards and 10 touchdowns. As junior he drew more attention, but still put up big numbers. Henry caught 49 catches for 811 yards, and 12 touchdowns.

Chris Henry is a great athlete on the football field. He is tall and lanky, and can really go up and get the ball. He displays very good speed and can get downfield with ease. With his height, jumping ability, and speed he has the ability to be a big vertical threat at the next level.

Henry’s biggest issue may be his attitude. He needs to grow up and realize he is part of a team; it’s not all about Chris. On the field he needs work as well. He needs to put more effort into learning the nuances of his position, and putting forth more effort when the ball is not coming his way. With experience, Henry should become a more complete WR however.

Chris Henry has a ton of physical ability, and could be the best WR out of this draft when all is said and done if he is willing to put in the work. His style and attitude questions remind me of Randy Moss coming out, though he is not quite on Moss’ level physically. Where he gets drafted will be largely dependant upon how teams view his maturity and work ethic. He could be a Top 20 pick or he could slide into the 2nd or 3rd round.
