I would say, "unbelievable", but it would be a lie.

As someone who rarely drinks more than a couple of beers at a time, I find it hard to picture whats goes through the head of a man with a 6 figure income as he gets behind the wheel of his car buzzed up.

Then again, it does impair judgement.

This is likely a blessing for the Vikes.

PA got the news on his show and he said "I feel comfortable saying this: Erin needs professional help. He's going through something in his personal life and I hope he seeks help". The tone suggested that maybe Henderson is depressed and or going through something bad. No excuses though for drinking and driving.

As you said, no excuses but my first thought on reading this news was that it sounds like Henderson may need some help. I hope he gets it.

Per release from Carver County, Henderson was arrested after single car accident. He collided with trees after going through grassy area. Henderson was not injured. He was was arrested for DWI after "performing poorly during standardized field sobriety testing."
Henderson also was arrested for possession of a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and violation of a limited driver license

Erratic on, and off, the field. The Vikes can do a lot better, and in fact did, with Cole and maybe Mauti.

What happened with his previous arrest in November?

Perhaps he'll see some jail time this time around because of repeat offenses in such a short timespan. I read a tweet from somebody who said Henderson was arrested on 4 counts, among them possession of marijuana and some drug paraphernalia that was found in the car.
I hope he gets help and gets his life in order, but I don't want him on the Vikings roster anymore...

6 whole weeks without being caught drunk with pot in the car.
Good move, idiot.

Did you know that since 2000, the Vikings are the most arrested team in football?

I'm sure they can call their father figure Frazier if they ever need anything.

Come on Henderson, atleast get a freaking taxi if you have no one else to drive you while you're intoxicated. Luckily he didn't kill anything but probably his chances of staying on the team.

@chicagoPurple, Wow, I think that is a little much.

Honestly, dude needs to hit up treatment and get some help.

The NFL is going to get involved and he's going to get suspended.
