    Each day at 7 a.m. sharp, 14-year-old Chad Henne showed up ready to make himself into a better quarterback.

    For 45 minutes, while classmates scrambled to finish their homework, Henne fine-tuned his footwork and throwing mechanics. While older teammates roamed the halls in their letter jackets, the freshman, who would lead them on the field, finished up wind sprints.

    "I joke with him once in awhile - I might not have been his favorite person some days," said Jim Cantafio, Henne's coach at Wilson Senior High School in West Lawn, Pa. "But the great ones are special and they will make a special commitment to be good."

    It didn't take long for people to realize Henne was special.

    But Henne, who took every snap during four record-setting high school seasons, was never satisfied.

    Even when he had established himself as the best quarterback in a state that had produced Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Dan Marino and Jim Kelly, Henne didn't skip his Monday-Thursday morning sessions with Cantafio.

    Nice read! I think Henne is going to surprise alot of people. It would have been nice to see the kind of numbers he would have put up had he not gotten injured last year. If he could have played all year like he did in the bowl game against Florida, I doubt this guy is on our team because he would have gone alot earlier in the draft.

    This is all just a guess as to how henne will work out. Same with beck last year. It's nice to hear. But, the same kind of things were said about beck last year gym rat, always in the playbook, focused, ect.
    The hype machine has begun. Future of the franchise and all that jazz. When he plays and wins I'll believe it. There is just as much chance Mcnown or beck starts. they probably have a head start on henne going into camp. It is way to early to know hwhat is going to happen.
