Taking over the quarterback role from Ryan Tannehill, Henry did something magical. Tannehill ran left, making room for Henry to loft a decent pass to Pruitt. He didn’t look fazed at all, with Pruitt comfortably cushioning the ball in his hands. On a day as special as ‘Tight End Day‘, Henry did something very special.
