Henne excelled at Michigan before turning pro. The Miami Dolphins selected him with the No. 57 pick in the 2008 draft in the second round. He first served as the backup to Chad Pennington during his rookie year and then took over the starting role once Pennington was injured in 2009.
He started 31 games for the Dolphins before moving on to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he played from 2012 to 2017. He started 22 games for the Jaguars.
