If Devery Henderson is as sensitive as some, his feelings have been hurt more times than he cares to remember or to admit. If he's as fragile mentally as has often been suggested, he has had days when he didn't want to crawl out of bed, when he might have wondered if he actually belonged.

But you get the feeling he's none of the above.

You get the feeling that all these seasons he actually has bought in when he's been told by New Orleans Saints coaches that he's a critical piece of the offensive puzzle, that his skills as a receiver give him a place with this franchise, that points and yards are a little easier to come by when he's on the field posing a threat.

Which must make days like Sunday against the Bears especially sweet for Henderson.

He caught three passes for 103 yards against Chicago, including a picturesque, perfectly executed 79-yard bomb for a touchdown that put the Saints ahead for good in their 30-13 victory.
