Chad Ochocinco talks about Chris Henry

Chad Ochocinco, a teammate of Chris Henry on the Cincinnati Bengals asked for prayers for his friend on Twitter before he learned of Chris Henry's death.

I've never prayed this way before where its come to tears, please continue your prayers for my boy Chris (Slim) Henry! I love you bruh
 

Today he shared a twitpic of Chris Henry, saying he will be missed, and he put up a video on ustream dedicated to his teammate.

Youll never be forgotten chris (slim) henry R.I.P (Broadcasting live at http://ustre.am/4sHM)

He was asked to speak about Chris' death today after it had been confirmed that Chris Henry had died and Chad Ochocinco teared up in the locker room as he spoke about how he had just talked to Chris on Tuesday night. He said that his grandmother told him never to question the man upstairs because he never makes mistakes in his decisions, but he said that he couldn't understand how it was Chris' time to go now when he was on the right path.

Before he spoke out about Chris' death however, he shared his thoughts on Twitter.

Chad Ochocinco has a strong Twitter presence with thousands of followers and he was hoping that his teammate and friend would pull through and live.

Chad Ochocinco became angry at Twitter user 'thePreport' when they told him:

Go to bed..

after his tweet about praying for Chris Henry.

Ochocinco replied:

@thePreport you think this is funny or something?

I was hoping OCHOCINCO would wear Chris's jersey cause I thought it would be a Great gesture & definitely a Wonderful tribute! I Love Ochocinco also because he is always REAL! I'm from WVA so needless to say I watched Chris back when he played for WVA University & he was awesome.   My LOVE goes out to everyone & most of all my PRAYERS!!
