Granted that a little arrogance is necessary for success, but too much leads to a lack of success. Not necessarily failure, but a lack of success.
The bottom line is that you have to give respect to get respect. Guys like Randy Moss and Terrell Owens, despite their character flaws, dominate in the league. Once a player reaches superstardom based on talent instead of hype, like Kellen Winslow, then a rash of boasting may be in order.

I may be wrong but I fear Chris Henry will be worse than those mentioned above.
His problems stem from his lack of respect for authority, and a mean-spirited, spiteful, nasty attitude towards everything.
Moss, TO, and some others are immature, and love themselves too much.
Henry hates everything.
I watched him at WVU and his antics were disturbing.
Disrespectful of his coaches, no regard for teammates, or the game itself.
If he doesn't change, or grow up soon, it is hard to tell where he may end up.
