    With the 120th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Nebraska PK Alex Henery. Henery could be a solid kicker in the NFL. Possesses a big, strong leg with the range to hit very long field goal attempts but accuracy does drop some from over 50 yards. Outstanding accuracy and consistency on shorter kicks. Has experience punting, flashes the ability to directionally kick, but doesn't get enough consistent hang-time or distance. Solid athlete who can handle poor snaps and angle a returner toward the sideline.

    He's old and starting to miss clutch kicks.

    ^this. He's probably switching from P90x to Insanity as we speak.
    The reality is the Eagles tried to extend his contract last year and he wanted more then they wanted to offer then his playoff performance this year tacked another nail in the coffin. I also bought his jersey for a friend's birthday gift last season so I am sure that also figured in.
