On Sunday, former Alabama and current Tennessee Titans running back surpassed the 4,000 career yard mark in his NFL career.
Henry, who has become a major staple of the Titans’ offense, had 25 carries for 84 yards on Sunday.
Even the Titans’ head coach Mike Vrabel knows it’s true.
So much so that he wore a face mask last weekend that said, “Please give the ball to Derrick Henry.”
And it’s true.
Last season, Derrick Henry led the NFL with a career-best 1,540 rushing yards on 303 carries and was the only running back in the NFL to average more than 100 rushing yards per game last season.
Henry also had 446 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 83 carries during the playoffs.
But, that’s not all. Henry is ranked third in NFL history, averaging 126 yards rushing in the postseason.

Simply put, Henry is on a roll and he doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.
There’s a reason the Titans agreed with Henry for a four-year, $50 million deal.
He’s worth every single penny.
And he’s on a mission to prove just that.
So far in his NFL career, Henry has racked up now over,4000 yards rushing for 38 rushing touchdowns. He also has 593 receiving yards for another 3 touchdowns.
While at Alabama, the former Heisman trophy winner produced 3,591 yards and 42 touchdowns while racking up 285 receiving yards and three touchdowns through the air.
Congrats, Derrick!
