Chris Henry Jr., a standout high school football receiver, recently paid tribute to his late father, Chris Henry Sr., by getting a Cincinnati Bengals-themed tattoo. This heartfelt gesture honors his father's legacy as a former Bengals receiver who left an indelible mark on the team during his five-season career from 2005 to 2009.
Ranked as ESPN's No. 1 receiving recruit for the class of 2026, Henry Jr. has committed to playing for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Currently attending Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, he has previously honed his skills at West Clermont High School and Withrow High School.
The connection to the Bengals runs deep in the Henry family. In 2021, Adam "Pacman" Jones, a former Bengals defensive back and kick returner, officially adopted Henry Jr. and his brother DeMarcus. Jones, who was a close friend and college teammate of Henry Sr. at West Virginia University, joined the Bengals in 2010, just months after the tragic passing of Henry Sr. in North Carolina.
This tattoo is more than just ink; it's a symbol of family, legacy, and the enduring bond between a father and son united by their love for football and the Cincinnati Bengals.
