Miami Bound: Henne Joins Long as Dolphins Draft Pick
April 26, 2008
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Chad Henne (Wyomissing, Pa./Wilson HS) joined University of Michigan teammate and the No. 1 overall pick, left tackle Jake Long (Lapeer, Mich./Lapeer East HS), as member of the Miami Dolphins with his selection in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft Saturday (April 26) at Radio City Music Hall.
Henne was the 57th overall pick of the draft and the fourth quarterback chosen. Henne was drafted behind first-round picks Matt Ryan (third, Atlanta Falcons) and Joe Flacco (18th, Baltimore Ravens), and the player chosen one spot ahead of him, Brian Brohm (56th, Green Bay Packers).
This week's earlier announcement became official as Long was anointed the draft's No. 1 overall pick by the Dolphins. Long became the first of 252 players to be selected during the two-day draft that continues tomorrow (Sunday, April 27) with rounds three through seven.
Henne is the third-highest draft pick among U-M quarterbacks all-time. Jim Harbaugh, the 26th pick of the 1987 draft by the Chicago Bears, is the program's lone first-round selection. Todd Collins was a second-round selection as the 45th overall pick by the Buffalo Bills in the 1995 draft, and Steve Smith was a second-round choice (33rd overall) in the 1984 supplemental draft by the San Diego Chargers.
The 2008 Capital One Bowl Most Valuable Player, Henne completed 25-of-39 passes for a career-best 373 yards and three touchdown passes against the Florida Gators. He was 162-of-278 passing for 1,938 yards and 17 touchdowns during an injury shortened senior season that netted him All-Big Ten first team honors from the coaches. Henne set Michigan career records by completing 828-of-1387 passes for 9,715 yards and 87 touchdowns.
