Packers fullback, 320 catches, Super Bowl XXXI champion

William Henderson was born on February 19, 1971 in Richmond, Virginia, played college football at North Carolina, and entered the NFL when the Green Bay Packers took him in the third round of the 1995 draft with the 66th pick. He appeared in 15 games as a rookie and started one of them. Madden NFL 96 put him at a calculated 59 for the 1995 season.

Henderson started 11 games in 1996 and was on the field for Green Bay's win over New England in Super Bowl XXXI in January 1997. He started 13 games in 1999, a season Madden NFL 2000 listed at a calculated 77. He blocked for Dorsey Levens and Ahman Green and caught passes out of the backfield from Brett Favre. In 2004 he was named to the Pro Bowl and to the Associated Press All-Pro team, and Madden NFL 05 rated him 88 for that season.

His last year was 2006, 14 games with nine starts, and Madden NFL 07 rated him 96 for it. Green Bay released him on March 7, 2007, ending a 12-season career spent entirely with one club. The Packers inducted him into their team Hall of Fame in 2011. He finished with 320 receptions for 2,409 yards and 14 touchdowns.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
About the starred rows*: Several early Madden releases rated players on a 1-15 scale, as printed in the game manuals, rather than the modern 0-99. We store those ratings converted to 0-99 (each manual point is about 6.6) so you can compare players across eras at a glance - use the 0-99 / 1-15 toggle above the table to see the original numbers on those seasons. EA didn’t publish an overall rating in those games, so the OVR* values for those years are our own calculation, the average of the player’s two best ratings.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
