Mike Vrabel reacts to TreVeyon Henderson's controversial Twitter post
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel commented on running back TreVeyon Henderson's controversial social media post.
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson faced significant backlash online after posting a scripture in apparent support of former Chicago Bulls player Jaden Ivey, who was released after calling Pride Month "unrighteousness" in a social media post. Henderson, a devout Christian, posted a Bible scripture on X as part of a retweet of Ivey's initial message. "'Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousnessโ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
' Matthew 5:10," Henderson posted. When appearing at the NFL's annual league meeting on Tuesday , Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was asked to respond to Henderson's social media post. While the coach acknowledged that he wants players to feel comfortable enough to share their personal beliefs, he also wants them to understand that the Patriots are an "inclusive" organization.
"I love TreVeyon. I love the person. He cares deeply about our team.
He cares deeply about his faith. He cares deeply about his family, his wife, the people in our building," said Vrabel. "And so, I want them to be able to express what they believe in their heart and in their mind, but I also want to make sure that they're educated, and we want to be inclusive.
