“I will fight this! I have never been a statistic and I never will! I want to thank my brothers and coaches for the endless support!”
Henry did not address his football future, with his health being the top priority right now.
This isn’t the way I wanted to release this, but I know no other way. A couple days ago I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. I will fight this! I have never been a statistic and I never will! I want to thank my brothers and coaches for the endless support!
