Summary
Hunter Henry is a tight end with the New England Patriots. He was originally selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Chargers and played his first five seasons with SD/LA. In the Spring of 2021, he signed a three-year contract with New England and in his first year with the Patriots, caught a career-high nine touchdown passes.
In college, Henry was a standout tight end with the University of Arkansas, winning the John Mackey Award in 2015 for the nation's best tight end.
Today on the podcast, we talk to Hunter Henry about becoming a father, discovering his "new why," what it means to play for an audience of one, and the importance of finding his identity outside of football.
