Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had quite an impressive season with 2,027 rushing yards, but his historic campaign wasn’t without some casualties.
Henry steamrolled defenders all season long to the tune of totaling more yards after contact than most backs had total rushing yards.
Two of his victims were Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman, who infamously got tossed like a ragdoll during the Titans’ Week 5 win, and Detroit Lions cornerback, Alex Myres, who suffered a similar fate in Week 15.
During his monologue at the 2021 NFL Honors ceremony, comedian and host Steve Harvey made sure to remind us just how bad of a man Henry is, and he roasted Norman a bit in the process.
Big @IAmSteveHarvey with the jokes. 😂

Harvey was on fire during his monologue, as he roasted the New England Patriots, Washington Football Team, and more.
Steve Harvey at NFL Honors: "Patriot fans had no idea what to do in January this year. They had to call Browns fans for advice."
Cold.

Henry has a great opportunity to take home a major award during the ceremony on Saturday night, which started at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
While he’s certainly in the conversation for Most Valuable Player, that award usually goes to quarterbacks. If nothing else, Henry should be the Offensive Player of the Year.
After all, he became only the eighth player in NFL history to break 2,000 yards, and his final total is the fifth-most in league history. He more than deserves the recognition.
