Indianapolis — Daiyan Henley thinks quarterbacks are soft, but don't worry — he's allowed to say that.
He used to be a quarterback.
After a short stint at wide receiver, the 6-foot-2, 232-pound Washington State product is entering this year's NFL Draft as one of the more intriguing linebacker prospects on the board. He blends the processing of a quarterback with the physicality of a linebacker-safety hybrid. He knows how most wide receivers are going to try to beat him before the ball is snapped, because he's been in their shoes.
"I thought I had QB dreams," Henley said Wednesday morning at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
