    Those 2 seaons with Henry were special. You did good Boomer.

    I know I'll step on toes here, but I consider Roy Henry the best passing quarterback the Cajuns have ever had. There was so much talent there.

    Really!? That good, huh? Can you explain a little more? I was just hitting the double digits in age at that time so I have no recollection of him.

    If Roy Henry would have had Jake Delhomme and/or Brian Mitchell's leadership ability and character, there is no telling what he could have become. Probably the most gifted (Physically) of any QB in UL history!

    Just the fact that he was a part of the 1973 Notre Dame recruiting class should tell you all you need to know about Roy Henry. In 1974 he transferred and had to sit out a year. That year he ran the scout squad and nobody could tackle him. I also will add that the USL defense never played against a quarterback any better all year. Roy Henry played in the Blue-Gray All-Star game after his senior year. Unfortunately, Roy Henry was only about Roy Henry. He was good, he knew it and he wanted everyone else to know it too. On a bet, I once saw him drop back and hit a helmet laying on the field from 50 yards away on a line. Phenominal arm and threw a nice catchable ball.

    Worked for a company named Atlantic Pacific Marine Corporation out of Houma, La during summers of my college years in the 70's. Roy worked for the same outfit one summer. Played a little pass one day and he definitely had a cannon for an arm. Had to comment that he was as nice and a humble person as you would ever want to meet.
