Draft Profile: Bio
Seth Henigan, a Denton, Texas native, quarterbacked the Memphis Tigers for three seasons. At Denton Ryan High School, Henigan posted a 44-2 record from 2018-20, culminating in the 2020 5A Division I State championship. His prep career showcased prolific production with 7,234 passing yards, 79 touchdowns, and just 14 interceptions.

Henigan made an immediate impact at Memphis, becoming the first true freshman to start a season opener in program history. His collegiate accolades include 2021 FWAA Freshman All-America Team honors and 2023 Second-Team All-AAC recognition. In his junior campaign, Henigan amassed 3,883 passing yards with 32 touchdowns and nine interceptions, while adding 274 rushing yards and five ground scores.

Over three seasons, Henigan started 36 games, demonstrating durability and consistent improvement. His standout performance in the 2023 AutoZone Liberty Bowl, where he threw for 364 yards and four touchdowns, earned him MVP honors.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Processes full-field reads with calm demeanor in the pocket, showing plus mental processing
  • Demonstrates a compact, whip-like release with the ability to alter arm angles under duress
  • Exhibits plus ball placement on all three levels, particularly on deep shots and boundary fades
  • Displays natural touch and arc control, especially on seam routes and sideline throws
  • Generates adequate RPMs on throws over the middle, threading passes into tight windows
  • Shows functional mobility to extend plays and deliver accurately while on the move
  • Exhibits anticipatory throwing skills on comebacks and crossing patterns, hitting receivers in stride
  • Navigates the pocket with subtle movements, maintaining a strong base against edge pressure
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Inconsistent lower body mechanics lead to erratic ball placement and velocity
  • Lacks consistent pocket awareness, often creating negative plays when sensing backside pressure
  • Limited twitch and short-area quickness to evade rushers or create with his legs
  • Questionable risk assessment, challenging tight coverages downfield too frequently
  • Arm talent is adequate but not elite, with some perimeter throws lacking ideal zip and spin
Scouting Report: Summary
Henigan's tape shows a quarterback with solid developmental traits but significant room for growth. His ability to work through progressions and deliver with touch are positives, but mechanical inconsistencies and decision-making issues under pressure raise concerns. In the NFL, Henigan will need to refine his footwork and improve his ability to read complex defenses to maximize his potential.

Best suited for a vertical passing attack that can leverage his touch on deep balls while providing time for him to develop. Henigan's experience in a pass-heavy college offense provides a foundation, but the jump in competition will require an adjustment period. His ability to make plays from the pocket is intriguing, but he'll need to improve his mobility and decision-making under duress to succeed at the next level.

Ultimately, Henigan profiles as a developmental prospect who could grow into a backup role with proper coaching. His ceiling will depend on his ability to clean up mechanical flaws and enhance his physical tools. Teams will need to be patient as he adapts to NFL speed and complexity, with his floor being a practice squad candidate who may struggle to maintain a roster spot long-term.
