NFL running back Henderson checks in on his former Coastal Carolina teammates

De’Angelo Henderson and the Denver Broncos have one bye week this season, giving the NFL rookie and former Coastal Carolina running back one weekend away from the team.

He chose to make Coastal Carolina’s 27-21 loss to Georgia State on Saturday night at Brooks Stadium part of his lone free weekend.

“Why not?” Henderson said Saturday at halftime. “This is home. I was at my high school [Summerville] yesterday and gave a pregame speech to the guys. Why not come to Coastal? This is what got me to where I’m at and I’m forever grateful to this university and the people here, so I want to come back here and show my face and show my love and support.
