Goodbye, William Henderson

[The Green Bay Packers released veteran fullback William Henderson on Wednesday. Henderson has spent all of his 12 years in Green Bay.

"We are releasing William at this point so he can pursue other opportunities within the National Football League," said Packers general manager Ted Thompson. "The Packers organization is extremely appreciative of his efforts over the past 12 seasons."

Henderson has played in more games as a Packer, 188, than every player in team history other than Brett Favre, Bart Starr, and Ray Nitschke.

The third-round selection out of North Carolina in the 1995 NFL Draft has 320 catches for 2,409 yards and 14 touchdowns in his career. He has also rushed 112 times for 426 yards and five touchdowns.]

He was a good player and a good person. He was one of my favorites.
