NFL Chris Henry update - Bengals talk about Henry

A Chris Henry update.

The Cincinnati Bengals just held a press conference on the death of Wide Receiver Chris Henry. According to WTLT Cincinnati, Bengals Owner Mike Brown said that the receiver was well-liked by most in the organization:

"We knew him in a different way than his public persona... We liked him, he had worked through troubles in his life and had finally, seemingly reached a point in his life where he was blossoming. And then this tragedy cut him down."

Both Brown and Head Coach Marvin Lewis said that many spent a lot of time working to help Chris Henry. "I think everybody here, a lot of people here have spent a lot of time helping Chris develop as a person," said Lewis.

Bengals Quarterback Carson Palmer said this: "It's a very sad day for our team, for our organization, for Bengals fan. Chris was a guy who I believe, and our team believes, was heavily misunderstood."

Wide Receiver Chad Ochocinco echoed the thoughts I expressed in my last post when he said "He's been doing everything right. He's been doing everything right. My grandma always says you never really question the man upstairs on decisions because he never makes mistakes. I don't see how Chris was pulled to go already, especially when you're on the right path."

Amen.
