Quadree Henderson

Henderson was a name many expected to be called by the Steelers at one point in the draft. A speedy wide receiver with great return ability and a hometown name, Henderson was picked to land, or stay, in Pittsburgh since day one.

He may not have heard his name called during the draft, but it didn’t take more than an hour before he was signed with the Steelers. Now, he needs to prove he can contribute in the return game and at wide receiver for this team to keep him around.

Luckily, he’s got enough talent to do so. He needs work at wideout, but once he establishes himself as a quick slot guy behind Eli Rogers and James Washington, he’ll earn his place on this team.
