Overview
Henery could be a solid kicker in the NFL. Possesses a big, strong leg with the range to hit very long field goal attempts but accuracy does drop some from over 50 yards. Outstanding accuracy and consistency on shorter kicks. Has experience punting, flashes the ability to directionally kick, but doesn't get enough consistent hang-time or distance. Solid athlete who can handle poor snaps and angle a returner toward the sideline. Henery has the experience, versatility, and mentality (pressure kicks, success in bad weather) to warrant a seventh round selection or priority free agent grade.
Analysis
Strengths
Henery has good height and is a good enough athlete. Possesses a big leg and can hit 50-plus yard field goals. Experienced and successful kicking in cold weather. Excellent accuracy on short field goal attempts. Has also handled punting duties and shows some ability to punt directionally.
Weaknesses
Lacks bulk. Kicking accuracy drops with longer attempts. Punting distance and elevation are only average. Will take an extra step on occasion while punting. Probably only an emergency punting option for an NFL team.
