"When one guy tackles him and stuff like that - I've been around some great backs in my career, and I was telling him, 'Those great backs don't get tackled. I want to see you score.' I was talking mad junk to him at halftime. I was just being hard on him. So him coming out there and busting two of them, it's like, it's good to be hard on people, I guess."
"On Sunday, Henderson went on to enjoy his real NFL breakout game in a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It took long enough, but Henderson also had to wait for the opportunity. And, after his 147-yard, two-touchdown performance, we might have found out just what exactly sparked such a monstrous game. Veteran wideout Stefon Diggs talked to reporters after the game and noted his conversations with Henderson at halftime. At that point, Henderson only had a modest output in the first two quarters."
"Diggs' raw words of encouragement must have flipped a switch inside of Henderson. To come out of halftime and immediately rip off a 55-yard touchdown scamper was truly as if something had changed. And then, later in the half, Henderson took it up a notch with a 69-yard house call. That second touchdown, in particular, was the most impressive of the two for one reason and one reason only: it came in crunch time. With under two minutes"
TreVeyon Henderson produced a breakout performance with 147 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stefon Diggs confronted Henderson at halftime, urging him to score and using hard-nosed trash talk. Henderson responded after halftime with a 55-yard touchdown and later a 69-yard touchdown, the latter arriving in crunch time. Henderson is described as laid-back and humble but capable of elevating his play when pushed by teammates. The performance may prompt greater trust from the coaching staff and signal a growing role in the offense.
