Looking for Pre-draft Concerns re: Travis Henry (1 Viewer)

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Been playing with some research on RBs and had a question about Travis Henry. Were there any character or injury concerns that caused him to drop to #58 in the 2001 draft?

I think he had injury problems.

I could not find any concerns, but here's a good pre-draft piece.

From the interview I take it he is a man of faith. I wonder if God told him to smoke the weed?

Maybe should have been character issues since he has been suspended 4 games for violating league's substance abuse policy and he was charged in 2001 with having sex with a 15 year old.

Notes: High school All-American who was considered by many to be the top prep runner in Florida in 1996. Had knee surgery during fall drills after coming to Tennessee in ’97. Missed the first six games but played in the rest and had two carries for four yards. Played in every game and started five in ’98, carrying 176 times for 970 yards and seven touchdowns and catching four passes for 31 yards. Rushed 125-790-8 and made three receptions for three yards in ’99, when he did not start until the end of the year, when Jamal Lewis was injured. With Lewis hobbled and Henry getting the majority of playing time, he ran for 543 yards and six scores in the last four games. Henry started in 2000 and won All-Southeastern Conference honors after a regular season in which he carried 253-1,314-11 and caught 13-65.

Positives: Top competitor and a real tough warrior. Very determined runner and player with a never-say-die attitude. Short, squat, powerful, low-to-the-ground runner with big and powerful legs and thighs, very strong hips and a low center of power. Is about as tough to tackle as a fire hydrant or a bowling ball rolling down a hill with butcher knives sticking out of it. Has exceptional balance and gains a lot of yards after contact. Does not look that fast, but he breaks some really long runs.

Negatives: Is not as fast and elusive as scouts would like. Was not used a lot in the passing game, and almost all of his catches were on short flips when he was facing the quarterback. May have some problems with blitz pickup.

Summary: Very tough and strong inside runner with a never-say-die attitude, but he is not a top all-around back at this point.
