Analysis

Drew Henson


Height: 6-4

Weight: 223

Position: QB

College: Michigan

Drafted: Pick 19 of the 6th round by Houston
Analysis
Positives: Confident field general with a strong personality...Tough and durable, absorbing punishing shots without ever being knocked out of a game...Has fine delivery and passing mechanics, hitting receivers in stride on timing patterns...Though under constant pressure, he keeps his cool...Very quick driving away from the center while setting up, showing the body control needed to throw on the move...Carries the ball chest-high and is always ready to throw...Has quick wrist action in his delivery and the power behind his tosses so he does not have to plant in order to throw the deep passes...Knows how to adjust his release based on angles taken while throwing...Can drill the ball in the seam playing the short area passing game and keeps receivers within their routes by feathering the ball to them on long bombs...Shows good backside awareness rolling out of the pocket...Scans the field effectively throws with impressive velocity in the intermediate and short range...Can also hold for placements.
Negatives: Tends to lock onto his primary receivers too much...Looks too long at his primary targets, taking unnecessary punishment when the pocket collapses, rather that throwing the ball out of bounds to prevent a turnover...Needs to improve his timing patterns to prevent receivers from having to adjust and turn constantly on routes...Will need a little refinement in his delivery, as he does not open and close his shoulders quickly...Overthrows at times on fades and post patterns...Availability is under review, as he is still under contract to the New York Yankees baseball organization.
