Rickey Henne of the Chargers' official site suggested Henry was one of the team's stars throughout training camp.
Henry has followed an impressive rookie season in which he logged eight TD receptions with an equally strong performance during training camp. It's perhaps not much of a surprise to see the Arkansas alum draw rave reviews given his unique combination of size and speed, but it's still encouraging to hear Henry is maturing as both a pass catcher and blocker, the latter of which he struggled at times with last season. Henry thus appears poised to overtake veteran Antonio Gates as the Chargers' No. 1 tight end in 2017 in the team's Philip Rivers-led passing attack, while bringing a far higher ceiling to the table than his aging counterpart.
