Hunter Henry has been a steady contributor during his time with the Patriots.
Henry has played in 16 or more games in three of his four seasons in New England. He led the team in catches (66) and receiving yards (674) last season. He was selected as a team captain last season.
Coach Mike Vrabel said Henry’s confidence, dependability, and attitude remind him of Kevin Byard, a two-time All-Pro safety whom he coached during his time in Tennessee.
Comparing a tight end to a defensive back can be like comparing apples to oranges.
