Through 12 games this season, Henry is hauling in 68 percent of his targets, averaging 9.5 yards per target, which leads all SEC tight ends and placing him fifth among FBS tight ends (first among Power 5 and Mackey Award finalists; minimum 25 receptions).

Henry has not dropped a pass through 12 games this season and has showcased his strong hands throughout his career, dropping just six of his 182 (3.3 percent) looks.

His 111 receptions and 1,569 receiving yards through the past three seasons is tops in the SEC among tight ends

Henry has been especially dominant on third down. Of his 1,541 career receiving yards, 579 (37 catches) have come on third down – more than any other down. His receptions on third-down passing plays result in a first down or touchdown 97.3 percent of the time (34 first downs, 2 touchdowns).

An every-down tight end, Henry has been on the field 95 percent of Arkansas' offensive plays on the season, including 443 of 470 run plays and 335 of 348 pass attempts. As a blocker, Henry hasn't allowed a sack or even a quarterback hurry this season. His ability in the run game has helped Arkansas rush for more than 200 yards in an SEC-best six league games this season

Worthy of a 2nd round pick. I would have absolutely no problem with it either.

Seems very similar to Witten. Run's good routes, really good hands and just a bit of wiggle. He will be a solid starter in this league and actually one of the old time tight ends who can catch the ball and actually block as well.
