The Quadree Henderson Experience... and how to stop it

Quadree Henderson is a blur.

That’s the best way to describe Pittsburgh’s 5-foot-8, 190-pound sophomore out of Delaware who ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash out of high school and is somewhere in the 4.3-something range right now.

He’s listed as a wide receiver, but where Henderson really does his damage is on fly sweeps and in the kick return game. He caught 23 balls this year but ran it 54 times for 555 yards — over 10 yards per attempt — and five touchdowns. He added in four return touchdowns — three on kickoff returns and one on a punt return — to boot, and he earned several All-American honors for his efforts in that area.
