Derrick Henry was a power Running Back at Alabama, where as a junior, he won the Heisman and led the Crimson Tide to a National Championship.  Despite this, there were concerned that his playing style would not be conducive to a long NFL career, and it dropped him to the Second Round, where the Titans took him.

Henry backed up DeMarco Murray as a rookie and sophomore, accumulating over 1,100 Rushing Yards over those two campaigns.  He took over as the lead Back in 2019, rushing for 1,059 Yards with 12 Touchdowns, but it was the springboard for what was to come.

Henry won the Rushing Title in 2019 (1,540) with what also a league-leading 16 Rushing Touchdowns.  This was not a fluke, as he joined the exclusive 2,000-Yard club (2,027) and breaking his previous record with 17 TDs on the ground.  Henry was named the AP Offensive Player of the Year, an appropriate honor for the Titan's workhorse.  Had Henry not got injured during the 2021 Season, it is possible that a second Rushing Title and OPOY occured.  The year after, Henry was again one of the beasts on the ground, rushing for 1,538 Yards and 13 Touchdowns while adding a third Pro Bowl.  Henry played one more season with the Titans where he rushed for 1,167 Yards and went to his fourth Pro Bowl.

The Baltimore Ravens signed Henry afterward, and he left the team with 9,502 Rushing Yards and 90 Touchdowns.
