King Henry and President Barack Obama were under the same roof on Thursday.

Former Alabama running back Derrick Henry was given the opportunity to give the closing prayer at the 64th annual National Prayer Breakfast, a bipartisan event traditionally held on the first Thursday of February at the Washington Hilton to come together for fellowship, prayer and thanksgiving.

Meanwhile, Obama also had a privilege bestowed on him. He got to hit the Heisman pose with Henry. The only problem is, Obama needs to make sure to tuck that ball.
