Chad Henne retired as a two-time Super Bowl champion after his time with Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.
In 2003, Henne committed to the University of Michigan out of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. He played his high school ball at Wilson High School in West Lawn, Pennsylvania, where he returned to share his knowledge with young student athletes recently.
Henne was a five-star recruit at the time who ended up starting for the Wolverines as a freshman.
Henne had a clear vision for his football career as he committed to Lloyd Carr’s team. The following is what he said about the tradition at Michigan and why he chose the Ann Arbor based school.
“It’s the tradition at Michigan,” Henne said. “The last five quarterbacks they have developed all made it to the NFL. Just seeing all he players and how they love to be there and how they love the coaches there says how Michigan really develops a person.
“I just chose Michigan because that’s where I felt most comfortable.”
Henne won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs, playing a valuable backup role behind Mahomes for Coach Reid’s team.
He developed his running skills, scrambling for key first downs in key moments, while keeping the sharp accuracy that made him a winning player at the college level. Henne helped out at his former high school as a volunteer assistant last season.
“I think I have too much knowledge to give up and just not be around it, to just sit home and not speak my word,” Henne said according to MGoBlue. “That’s why I got involved here. Just so much knowledge that I can give back to our kids.”
