At Pittsburgh November 24

The Miami Hurricanes will finish the season at Pittsburgh the day after Thanksgiving. Quadree Henderson is one of the nation’s  best multi threat talents.

In 2016, Henderson had 631 yards rushing and five touchdowns, 26 receptions for 286 yards and one touchdown, averaged 30.5 yards per kickoff return with three touchdowns and 15.8 yards per punt return with another touchdown.

He burned the Hurricanes for a kickoff return touchdown in a wild game last season. He has to be accounted for on the field at all times He could become the next Devin Hester in the NFL.

Henderson is a long shot, but with all he can do on the football field, he could be Heisman Trophy candidate in 2017.

Henderson will be a challenge for the entire Hurricanes defense and special teams. The responsibility of keeping track where Henderson is on the field is likely to come down to the safeties.

Rover Jaquan Johnson and free safety Sheldrick Redwine will have to keep track of where Henderson is. He was used more as a threat out of the backfield in the Panthers opener than as a receiver.
