Big John Henderson, former All-American at Tennessee who went on to play eight years in the NFL, addressed team 118 before practice on Monday.
“There was a great message for us earlier today with John Henderson, a Vol For Life, Tennessee great came back and requested to speak with the team and he was outstanding,” said Jones. “I know our players appreciated his message.”
“It’s another great illustration, a 10-year [NFL] vet, a Pro Bowl player, loves Tennessee,” said Jones. “To have him be able to come back and be from here in Jacksonville. The message was from being a freshman and all the things that go into it, to being a Pro Bowl player, how you take care of your body.”
“You could see the excitement, you could see the energy, you could see the passion. We led off with a YouTube video of him and the trainer that’s become very widespread and he was laughing about that. You could see the passion and the energy. Great players have an energy level about themselves, so it was a great illustration for our players of the excellence that we have here at Tennessee.”

I think it does wonders for the program when former players come back and address the team. Every insight a player can receive can benefit them down the road.
VFL !!!!!
Agreed. Henderson was a beast and hearing about him reminds me of better days.
Thanks for the comment Tennman.
