Chris Henry

The loss of a teammate, even though it is an overwhelming and sad event, can be a very motivating thing. Chris Henry did have many off the field issues that were not up to the standards of how NFL players should act, he was learning and growing as a person and player through his family and mainly through his teammates that were his best friends. Players like Chad OchoCinco and Carson Palmer were becoming great friends, teammates, and influences in Henry's life and he was becoming a better player, but mainly a better person with surrounding himself with these people.

Losing a teammate like the Bengals are now going through can provide the team with that extra jolt of confidence and desire to win and bring a championship to the organization for a player like Henry. If you have watched a few videos of sports analysts and players talk about the death of Henry and what it will bring to the team everyone is talking about how it will motivate the team to play for something, almost a 12th man on field type experience, as some people call it.

This is the webpage that provides a video of Chad OchoCinco describing what he feels about Henry and what kind of person Henry was becoming through his life journey in the NFL and playing with the Cincinnati Bengals. Deaths like this bring teammates that once were not close closer than they could have ever imagined. It can bring about new friendships and connections that change the dynamic of sport, teammate interaction, and changing yourself for the better of the sport and community you live in. It is said to say that it takes something this tragic for people to change, but it will help the franchise and people in the community to come together for the family of Chris Henry and also to honor him.
