in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first round series.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. --
Seantrel Henderson listens to his weaknesses from the NFLs pre-draft scouting
report on the offensive tackle, and there are no signs of any discomfort or
anger. "Underachiever traits," the report reads. "Suspect maturity,
dependability and decision-making." The criticisms are nothing new. Henderson
was dealing with them well before Buffalo selected him in the seventh round out
of the University of Miami. "I dont really think about what anybody really
said," Henderson said, referring to the pre-draft assessment. "I know who I am.
And I know what I can do. And I know what I can be." Henderson is not hiding
from the mistakes that sidetracked what had the makings of a promising career.
Four years ago, he drew comparisons to NFL star tackles Jonathan Ogden and
Orlando Pace, while being regarded as one of the nations top recruits coming out
of high school in St. Paul, Minnesota. Today, hes grateful to have a shot at
playing professionally after acknowledging that marijuana use led to him being
suspended several times at Miami, and also confirming he tested positive again
for marijuana at the NFL combine in February. Henderson insists thats behind
him. "I feel like in college, I had a lot of maturing to do, sir," he said
during a three-day rookie minicamp that ended on Monday. "But at the same time,
I have no regrets. Im happy where Im at. I wouldnt change it for anything, sir.
Im happy to be here in Buffalo." Its in Buffalo where Henderson can begin
focusing on whats ahead, while appreciating hes run out of second chances. "I
know for a fact this is the last chance Ive got, sir," Henderson said. "Ive been
through it all in my past four years at the University of Miami. And I know this
is the last chance that Ive got to be successful. So I wont let it go."
Henderson ends most every answer with "sir," a trait that dates to college.
Whats new is the pat answer Henderson has begun to lean on when confronted with
questions about how much he has to prove.

Berry Chiefs Jersey. . "Ive got to prove that I can work as hard as any
other guy here, be on time at all times and gain trust with the coaches," he
said. "Being accountable, reliable and dependable does that." The Bills have
been upfront with Henderson. "Weve talked to Seantrel, and he knows that hes got
one shot," general manager Doug Whaley said. "Hes been dealing with some demons.
Hopefully, those demons are out of his life. And why not give somebody -- this
is America -- a second chance." At 6-foot-7 and 331 pounds, Henderson has the
frame, skill and nimble footwork of someone capable of exceling at tackle. There
were times at Miami where Henderson showed glimpses of his potential. He earned
freshman All-American honours. Last year, he was credited with 10 blocks that
resulted in touchdowns, and was invited to the Senior Bowl. And yet, there are
the off-field concerns, some of which Henderson had little control over. In July
2012, Henderson mourned the loss of his best friend, Jordan Hughes, who was shot
and killed in St. Paul. A few days later, he sustained a concussion after being
involved in a car accident. In 2011, Henderson had surgery to repair a nagging
back problem. Questions, however, have been raised over his passion for
football. Bills coach Doug Marrone, a former offensive lineman, is keeping an
open mind. "Its early. It really is. And for me, consistency is the thing. I
think over a period of time well know," Marrone said. "There is no doubt that he
can play. The problem is going to come into can he be consistent enough and
disciplined enough and have the structure to be a pro." Henderson has plenty of
reasons to be motivated, including his 2-year-old daughter and his mother. "I
wake up in the morning, and the first thing I think about is my daughter and my
mom, and these are people I feel that I have to provide for," Henderson said.
"If I dont, then who else will?"
