Ever\u00a0have a bad day? \u00a0How about a bad moment? \u00a0Well in this day in age, \u00a0it only takes one small moment for people to make whole judgements and there’s no better place for that to happen than on the judgmental land we’ve come to know as Twitter.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, \u00a0video of a 1-on-1 rep at Nebraska’s Friday Night Lights between a defensive back and a wide receiver sent football twitter into a tizzy. The defensive back in that rep was 3-star Illinois defensive back Tyrik Henderson. \u00a0In the video clip which you can view below, \u00a0Henderson gets really aggressive with a camper at the line of scrimmage. \u00a0In the process, he ends up holding and even choking the wide receiver before slamming him to the ground.<\/p>\n

You didn’t have to be a genius to know that it would not be legal contact in a game and at the very least it was an exhibition of\u00a0poor technique. \u00a0For hours on Twitter Sunday, \u00a0football fans took to the keyboard to express their critique and disgust for what they saw on the video. \u00a0It appears that there are many people out there are at their wits end with some of the activities they see at camps and 7-on-7 events. \u00a0It also seemed that Tyrik Henderson, on this day, was going to pick up the tab for all the frustration.<\/p>\n

Having watched the video myself, \u00a0I was in agreement that it was poor technique. \u00a0As the day wore on, \u00a0I was like “alright already” as seemingly everyone and their mother lined up to tee off on the kid. \u00a0After so much criticism, \u00a0I decided to find out more about Henderson. \u00a0In doing my research, \u00a0I found out several things, the most of which was that Henderson is actually a good athlete and a solid cornerback. \u00a0Had I not done my research and gone on the word of Twitter, \u00a0I would have been forced to believe that Henderson flat out sucks, \u00a0will be dead in the water once he gets to college and has no future in the sport. \u00a0However, \u00a0nothing could be further from the truth.\u00a0What I saw in his high school highlight video was an aggressive defender with good technique and athleticism. \u00a0I also saw an individual who was pretty good playing offense too as a WR. Check out the viral clip in question along with a couple of clips from his high school days<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the video<\/p>\n
