Drew Henson, the greatest athlete that never was, has a new sports dream
He was the greatest athlete that never was.
Drew Henson couldn’t miss in two sports — yet he did.
“I didn’t have the success for which I hoped or expected,” Henson told The Post in a recent interview, “but I have this wealth of life experiences.”
Does he ever. He is a sports Zelig — experiencing brushes with greatness over and over, though never getting there himself
He ties Tom Brady to Derek Jeter more closely than a mansion on Tampa’s Davis Islands does. He played for Joe Torre, George Steinbrenner and the Yankees, and he played for Bill Parcells, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys.
He — not Jeter — is arguably the greatest schoolboy baseball player ever produced by the state of Michigan.
He — not Brady — is the last University of Michigan quarterback to beat Ohio State in Columbus.
