A native of Beaumont, Texas, the 47-year-old Henry has spent most of his coaching career along side Odell Beckham Jr., who is still under contract with the Cleveland Browns. 

Henry and Beckham were together at LSU, along with another current Browns wideout in Jarvis Landry, as well as with the New York Giants during some of Beckham's best seasons in the Big Apple. 

Henry started his NFL career with the Oakland Raiders in 2007 where he was an offensive quality control assistant, before being promoted to Tight Ends coach in 2009, and helping Zach Miller reach the Pro Bowl and set career marks in yards and receptions. 

Landry and Henry were reunited in Cleveland in 2018, as the Browns moved to sign Henry to a three-year deal. Beckham would soon become a Brown as well, bringing the trio together once again.

Beckham had 74 receptions on 133 targets and just four scores in his first season with the Browns under Henry, while Landry had a bit more success, catching 83 balls on 138 targets with six touchdowns of his own.

2019 was a tumultuous year for Cleveland, resulting in the firing of head coach Freddy Kitchens after just one season, and allowing Henry to search for other opportunities, before ultimately deciding on the Cowboys.
