Most everyone remember Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle, Aaron Donald’s shirtless picture is 2019. People were amazed that a defensive tackle could be so ripped.
A reminder that Aaron Donald is a freak of nature.

But earlier this week, former Alabama, and current Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry decided to challenge Donald, and let’s just say, Henry doesn’t look like a running back, in a good way.
Most would say Henry looks like a defender himself.

Henry is 6′ 3″, and weighs around 247 lbs. To give you perspective, most NFL running backs are just around (most are under) 6 feet tall, and weigh around 215 pounds.
For example, Mark Ingram is 5’9″ and 215 pounds, Josh Jacobs is 5’10” and 220 pounds, Ezekiel Elliot is 6’0 and 228 pounds, and Alvin Kamara is 5’10” and 215 pounds just to give a few examples.
Henry has been putting in the effort this offseason and it’s showing.
2020 might just be Henry’s best season yet.
Henry led the NFL with a career-best 1,540 rushing yards on 303 carries, and also was the only running back in the NFL to average more than 100 rushing yards per game last season.
He had 446 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 83 carries during the playoffs.
And that’s not all. Henry is ranked third in NFL history averaging 126 yards rushing in the postseason.
While at Alabama, the former Heisman trophy winner recorded 3591 yards and 42 touchdowns while also racking up 285 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in the air.
