Henderson played at Tennessee under Phillip Fulmer from 1998 to 2001.
The Nashville native was a two-time All-SEC first team member and he won The Outland Trophy in 2000.
Henderson was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. He spent 10 seasons in the NFL and was elected to two Pro Bowls.
The former Vol is well-known to football fans for his pregame ritual of getting slapped in the face.
