At a press conference after the signing, Henry said it was grateful to always be in the League and to have another opportunity like this.
“I am very grateful for this organization,” said Henry. “Just like last year, leaving the season I had (in 2023), I was not really happy and I wanted to prove myself and have an opportunity – and they gave me this opportunity. I am very grateful for how much they appreciated me to give me an extension and I just want to show them how much it means for me, how much this organization means for me by the way I work and what I do on the field. “
Henry’s signature borne fruit during his precipitate for 1,921 yards – the second highest production of his career.

“Yes, when you say something like that, it’s like a surreal moment to be able to have this opportunity and be in this conversation,” said Henry. “Since I was five, I fell in love with this game. And playing this position, I have always admired the big runners who played this game at a high level, who are legends of the game, and (I dreamed) of my name to be mentioned with them one day. For me, for me, I am possible to make the opportunity.”
How long Henry played someone’s assumption, and Henry was not ready to speculate on the issue on Monday.
“I think I’m just focused on this year, then I focused on continuing a better year after year that I am here. And it will always be my goal,” said Henry. “And, yes, I like football. I love playing. I know people are looking at age, but I don’t really try to focus on this. I just focus, how can you be better?
