Congrats to Big John! He was a beast! I still get a kick out of watching the video of his pregame ritual to get fired up when he was with the Jags.

Regardless of what people have thought, Big John is the 98 in my name here.
Well deserved my man, well deserved!

 

[Hacksaw]

Always happy to have another Vol in the HOF and he is deserving. I wish we could have a John Henderson on our team every year.

In the middle of that line stood one Hell of a man, Big John

First saw Big John playing 8th grade basketball in Nashville against our son's team. These two went on to Tennessee, where John became a legend on the gridiron & the son marched on the P.O.T.S. Band.

Awesome! John Henderson as much as anyone was responsible for the 2001 Win at Florida. AND, he said it in an USA TODAY interview that game week . "We are going down there to win the damn game." Based on that, I told my Florida Tile sales reps that UT would win the game, (I just felt it too) they laughed biggly. Welp, I never saw those same sales reps again!! LMAO. GO Big John!!

So happy to see this! Big John is my second all time favorite Vol - right after Peyton.

In the pros or college? If you mean college, I severely disagree.

College Football Hall of Fame = college

 

[Boston Vol]

College Football Hall of Fame = college

Ok, well I disagree. I don’t think it’s much of a discussion. Henderson being a two time All American and Outland trophy winner speaks for itself.
