Analysis
In any deep positional class, very good players will fall by the wayside as the conversation focuses on more popular names, and less on those who haven’t been on the media’s radar as long. That’s partially the case with Willie Henry, a fine defensive tackle out of Michigan who posted 6.5 sacks and 10 tackles-for-loss in 13 games this year.

At 6-3, 303 pounds, Henry is a splendid athlete for his size, showing an explosive first step and a powerful upper half to shed blocks and finish in opponent’s backfields.
