"The way I look at it, a lot of people were shocked. Most of the media thought we were going to pick a defensive end and we took a running back. I'm shocked like everybody else.
I see the selection as the front office taking the best player available. I don't believe that my fumbling the ball last season had anything to do with it."
Slap in the Face?
"At the time I felt that way but now after talking to the coaches I have a better understanding of why they made that pick. I definitely feel a whole lot better about it now.
I talked to some of the coaches and they explained the situation. Because of those conversations, my entire outlook has changed."
Henry's Goals
"My goal is to come in (next season) and perform the way I know I can. I feel like our team can do great things in Buffalo. I can't worry about things that I can't control.
I am just going to come in to practice everyday and work hard to get better.
This is my job. To my knowledge, that is what everyone is saying about this position and that is the way that I am looking at it."
Competitive Edge
They drafted a running back, I had a good year last year and I am going to have a good year this season. Drafting him (Willis McGahee) is only going to make this team better. That is the way I am looking at it.
My contract extension is something that we discussed and agreed upon. That is not affected by the selection of Willis McGahee.
When I was at Tennessee, we had Jamal Lewis, Travis Steven, and Shawn Bryson. It was a great experience competing there. I don't have any problems with competition. It will only make me better."
Secure Role
"I feel like I did a good job last season, being that it was only my second year and I ran for over 1,400 yards. I went to the Pro Bowl. I don't think that people can just forget that type of season after one year. Drafting him (Willis McGahee) is only going to make this team better. I can't wait for him to arrive so that we can get to know each other and just make each other better."
Motivation Factor
"I feel that same way I did at the end of the season, this didn't change anything. I still want to get back to the Pro Bowl. I want to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. I feel the same exact way now as I did then. My goals have not changed because of our selecting Willis McGahee."
Teammate Reaction and Support
"Everyone was shocked and held a different opinion on the situation. I am just trying to keep my head up and stay focused on what I want to accomplish.
I had quite a few guys calling me, showing support. We just talked about the situation and how that is not going to break my focus or stop me from accomplishing my goals."
