Travis Henry is a bad boy

• He has fathered nine children by nine women, a fact that came out in a child support case in Georgia. ESPN’s Chris Mortenson also reported this during an episode of ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’ on October 7, 2007. Other reports state that he had to borrow money from the Titans after falling behind in his child-support payments.
• Last year Henry rushed for 691 yards on 167 carries with four touchdowns in his one season in Denver, which was marked by a successful appeal of a one-year NFL suspension over a failed drug test.
Following the breaking news of Henry’s reported positive failure, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan publicly supported Henry. This led to Shanahan being fined $25,000 by the NFL.
• Henry was slow to return to offseason workouts after a hamstring injury this summer, and Shanahan jettisoned him in June. About a week after his release, reports surfaced that Henry had again tested positive for marijuana, his third offense putting him in line for a one-year suspension from the NFL if he signed on with another team.
• Henry was suspended four games during the 2005 season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
• Former Broncos running back Travis Henry is portrayed as the ruthless “money guy” in a cocaine trafficking ring who threatened to kill two accomplices and their families if they didn’t repay $40,000 in stolen drug money, according to court records.
This guy is like Shawn Kemp, Steve Howe, Ricky Williams and Mercury Morris all rolled into one.
