Drew Henson. When I saw him in college I thought he was a sure fire #1 can't miss. Amazing what a couple of years away from the game will do. When I saw his mechanics and saw him play in Europe, I couldn't believe how much he'd fallen off. It was drastic.

I was so excited when we traded for him. I got sucked.

Me too. Although I will say that the risk was worth the reward. I'd trade a 3rd rounder all day every day for a shot at a franchise QB. I'm not mad at the trade and I actually appreciated the attempt at the time and still do today. Just goes to show that you can't be away from the game and then think you're going to come back and be what you once were.

It's clear that Tuna didn't believe in letting a young guy struggle, because he pulled Henson in his first game. He cared more about winning a Thanksgiving game than giving Drew experience.

Unfortunate for Travis Frederick short career. Need 5 years out of Micah to qualify.
Yep, he was a great one. Could have been a HoF for sure (which would give us 3 HoF OL from the 2011-2014 drafts because Tyron and Martin are locks)
