The entire NFL is on a summer break after the conclusion of minicamp and before the start of training camp in late July, but don’t tell Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry that.
Henry remains hard at work during the dead period of the NFL offseason, as evidenced by the video he posted of himself working out down in Mexico at the famed Tulum Jungle Gym.
Most people take it easy on vacation, but not our King.
Making things a bit more interesting is the fact that Henry is getting his work in with Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end and former Alabama teammate, O.J. Howard. Take a look (H/T @TitansDraftTape for the videos).

Why is Howard’s presence the least bit interesting? Well, the Titans could use more help at tight end ahead of the 2021 season and the 26-year-old has been a candidate to be traded in the past.

Adding to that, the last time Henry worked out with a notable player — Julio Jones — that player ended up in Nashville via trade. Perhaps we need to get wide receiver A.J. Brown on another recruiting video, also.
Of course, we don’t want to read too much into Howard and Henry working out together. After all, we already mentioned their Crimson Tide connection and the pair are known to be friends, so it’s far more likely this is just two buddies hanging out together.

Furthermore, even if Henry is in Howard’s ear about coming to Nashville, the Buccaneers have the ultimate say as to where he goes if they do indeed decide to trade him, which is not guaranteed by any stretch.
