Chad Henne re-signs with Jacksonville, and good for him

Submitted by stephenrjking on

Not every player becomes a star, or even a starter. But I have long believed that a Michigan man who hangs in the NFL for a few years, even as a backup, is doing well for themselves. Financially speaking even the NFL minimum is rather good, and I'm happy for them.

Good for Chad Henne. He's turned into a career backup, but that is a legit job in sports that not everybody can do well. I'm glad he's still plugging along. He'll still get a chance to play when there's an injury or something, and he's a guy that gives his team a chance to win a game without its starter. Not bad at all.

Dan Orlovsky and the backups to Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady (well except for 1 year) and Aaron Rogders agree that career backup QB might be the best job in football.

...cool story bro.  A few weeks ago my group was at TopGolf here in Jax on the weekend.  The wait was about 3 hours so we are hanging in the bar area.  In walks Chad with his family (young son had a M hat on) and within 10 minutes he is hitting balls in a bay.  Funny thing is nobody seemed to recognize who he was!  I have to imagine if it was Bortles there would have been some pictures taken.  So yeah, he seems pretty comfortable to me in this city.
