Scouting Report

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound signal-caller was a four-year starter at Memphis, earning 2023 second-team All-AAC and 2024 third-team All-AAC honors. He finished his career having completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 14,278 yards, 104 touchdowns, and 31 interceptions, chipping in an additional 10 rushing scores.

In his pre-draft scouting profile, NFL Media's Lance Zierlein determined that Henigan is "worth a look as a potential backup" at the professional level.

"Productive four-year starter with a long, wiry build and hands on the small side," Zierlein wrote. "Henigan displayed an adequate feel for the offense, but it never really felt like he was taking a scalpel to fairly average defenses. He’s not a commanding thrower and lacks arm talent on the move. He has adequate mobility inside the pocket and throws with accuracy to his first option when he’s on-platform, but his feet get impatient when getting through progressions. On paper, his accuracy intermediate and deep are below average, but on tape, he simply didn’t have receivers who could separate and create better passing windows. The production has been solid and he’s worth a look as a potential backup."

Where He'd Fit

The Broncos are currently set at the quarterback position on their 53-man roster, with Bo Nix the understood starter and Jarrett Stidham the entrenched veteran backup. They also have Sam Ehlinger on the practice squad as the emergency QB3.

If signed, Henigan would likely compete with Ehlinger for the third-string role. However, it's worth noting that no deal has been reached as of this writing, and Ehlinger recently turned down an opportunity to join the Colts, citing his preference to remain in Denver.
