This week, Derrick Henry saw an opportunity to bless his community for Christmas, and he took it.
A HEARTWARMING MOMENT: Here’s the moment @KingHenry_2 surprised families at Burlington in the 100 Oaks shopping mall. He teamed up with Pay Away the Layaway and together, they paid off $10,000 worth of layaways! A great way to give back. @Titans @WKRN @PayAwayLayaway pic.twitter.com/GsZ7Ubveoh

Henry told local news affiliate, WKRN, that “This is an awesome cause for me to be a part of. It’s a blessing to do something for someone in need. I love doing stuff like that and when I can team up with someone, I’m all for it.” Henry said.
Henry is in his fourth year with the Titans. So far in 2019, he has rushed for over 1,300 yards and has 13 TDs.
