Rookie De’Angelo Henderson has been one of the most-talked-about new faces at Denver Broncos training camp, but that doesn’t mean the sixth-round pick isn’t subject to the usual rookie rites of passage.
Following Monday’s training camp practice, the running back was carrying pads for three of his fellow running backs – a familiar sight in the early days of camp.
On Tuesday, Henderson got ahold of a picture of the fun-loving hazing ritual and posted it to Twitter with the caption, “Go to the NFL they said… it’ll be fun they said ?”

Clearly the young back out of Coastal Carolina is having fun with his rookie experience so far.
It’s likely he’s not done with those rookie rites of passage, though.
In short order Henderson and his fellow rookie teammates will be subject to the annual “rookie haircuts.” We’ll see if he finds a new hairdo quite as funny.
Something tells us he will.
