He and Henderson should be poster boys for staying home and playing for the U. Not that either could have contributed, but losing them at the time seemed like a loss. Same for Lydon Murtha. Hope they all have something to fall back on elsewhere.
I am baffled in the lumping of some of the players on this board.
Murtha and Henderson are NOTHING like Mobley and WLA. It's a terrible comparison.
Murtha had a nice career at Nebraska and played in the NFL.
Henderson is having a nice career at Miami and he WILL play in the NFL.
WLA and Mobley never contributed for a moment in college football. At least Mobley got a degree and played on some teams, WLA never accomplished a single thing. WLA didn't just fail to live up to the hype, he did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Henderson was a FR All American, he' started the vast majority of his games despite being injured for most of his SO season. He was ACC Hon Mention last season. Barring an injury he will be in the NFL after next season. Did he live up to his hype? Nope. But you can't put someone who has accomplished some things in the same category as WLA or Mobley.
As far as not contributed, Henderson would have been the best lineman we've had here since Setterstrom and he might even surpass him next season. Murtha would have also been one of our better OL.
