Interesting about Hank.... comes to UM as a mid 3* from St Thomas, has a bunch of drop problems early in his career, buckles down and really exploded onto the scene as a senior with over 1,100 receiving yards and breaks Irvin's record for TDs in a season, Whipple was his OC.Random question for those that might know: are OC’s generally open to position coaches suggesting certain plays that were guaranteed money plays at their previous stops? Like if Hank has a couple 49er plays that were money, would dawson implement?
Then gets drafted in the third round by the Redskins, Week 9 as a rookie he earns a start and his second week starting ****ed up his hip on IR. Next year battles injury, down on the depth chart, getting beat out and by his third year dude worked his way back to starting WR then tore LCL and ACL. Kyle Shannahan was his OC
After that was a journeyman but could never get healthy (hip, knee, labrum, hamstring) retires from football in 16/17, then joins Mark Whipple as a GA at Umass, next year in 2018 promoted to WR coach.
Following year goes Stephen F. Austin as their WR coach from 19-20, then in 21 joins Kyle Shanahan at the 49s as quality control then after one year goes to be WR coach.
Interesting because 1. his former coaches thought so highly of him (assuming due to his intelligence as a player ) to offer him coaching positions, and 2. each time dude seems to be down, he claws his way back and rose through the coaching ranks pretty quickly...
