With the 57th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Michigan quarterback Chad Henne. The fourth quarterback selected in the Draft, following Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, and Brian Brohm, Henne came to Miami with the expectation of finally solidifying the position that had been in constant rotation since Dan Marino’s retirement. After four years in South Florida, Henne had picked up a nickname of “Checkdown Chad” with fans ready for the next quarterback of the future.
Henne left the Dolphins after appearing in 36 games, with 31 of those starts. He threw for 7,114 yards on a 60.
