His stock just took a tumble

yea I am not a big believer in guys stock rising because of pro days or falling much either ...... but when you quit that is a whole other story

His stock has be slipping a little for a while now. I wonder if there is more to it than they are saying.

great point.

even if he had to stop because he was dehydrated, its his fault. he should know better than to be underhydrated on maybe one of the most important days of his life that is physically demanding

[st33lersguy]

If he can't handle a pro day, how is he going to handle a 60 minute game with pads on playing against NFL pass rushers?

Henderson came in with the intention of doing a few of the drills, like the 40 and the vertical jump. He did not plan on running lineman drills and had not prepared to do so, but his agent stated his competitive drive kicked in and some of the coaches asked, so he jumped out and hit the drills.

Now, I get the not finishing and how people can look at that negatively, but shouldn't him doing more than anticipated being a plus? Some scouts commented and stated him stopping was not an issue to them. Seems like he was doing more than expected and had not prepared for it, and simply got winded. Word is he looked good in the drills.

And, I would not bag on him much, Steelers had him in for a visit, so...he might be a Steeler one day.

he was not prepared for one of the most important days of his life so i would say no.

Agreed. Why would he only intend to do a few of the drills? It's not like as if he's a top 5 pick. If I'm drafting, I don't want that type of attitude on my team.

So, if a company calls you in for a 2nd interview and tells you it is for a urine test, you head in and they decide to give you the Wonderlic, then you think you have prepared?


ESPN reported that Henderson quit.

However, Henderson's agent, David Levine, said that's inaccurate.

Henderson got tired and didn't finish the positional drills, according to Levine.

“He went there intent to do the bench and position drills but his competitive spirit took over and he did a full combine,” Levine told The Sun-Sentinel. “At the end of the workout he got dehydrated, started getting a super bad headache, felt like he was going to throw up and didn’t do the last two O-line drills.”

Levine said that the 6-foot-7, 339-pounder had an 8-6 broad jump, 28-inch vertical, better than what he did at the combine.

“He did everything we needed to see,” an NFC executive told the Sun-Sentinel. “He just looked pretty winded at the end, but they put them through it.”

I guess if he had pushed through, you know, like Korey Stringer did, you would praise him for pushing through the headache and nausea?

You also have to realize that, at Pro Days, you do not have 30 other OL running the drill with you so you move from station to station much faster, compacting a whole combine worth of workouts into a couple hours. The NFL combine is spread over several days for a reason.
