I'm Cory with the story.

Patriots head coach Mike Raeble spoke out about running back Trevion Henderson, backing

some controversial anti-LGBTQ comments from a recently waived NBA player.

He stressed that player should voice their true beliefs, but they need to stay informed

and keep the team inclusive.

Former Patriots tackle Ryan O'Callahan, who came out as gay back in 2017 and played

alongside Raeble, praised his old coach for, that stance.

O'Callahan slammed Henderson, though, saying one replaceable player like that doesn't

match the culture they're building in New England.

The 42-year-old O'Callahan never heard anything close to those views from teammates in college

or the NFL.

Even from the religious folks who?

Shared Bibles respectfully.

Meanwhile, Henderson led the Pats with 9-11 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns last year, earning

a spot as an offensive rookie of the year finalist.

Raeble's words set a clear tone as the team pushes forward.
