Derrick Henry said this at the Pro Bowl.
Pro Bowl players absolutely gutted over Kobe Bryant news. Mark Ingram continues to check his phone while asking me questions on validity of the news here on the sidelines. Derrick Henry said just yesterday he was asked to name undisputed GOAT in a sport and he said Kobe.

Rest in peace, Kobe and Gianna.
