Where's Chandler Henley?
One of Yale's great receivers. His last second catch against Princeton in, I believe, 2003, one of the greatest catches I ever saw, sent the game into OT and Yale eventually won.
He is also the last Yale captain whose team beat Harvard and won the league title.
A glaring omission.
I agree about Henley, but an even more glaring omission is Rashad Bartholomew. McLeod, Carr, Jauron: Isn't there a career rushing name missing from that list?
Henley should be on the yale staff.
