Sort of a strange coincidence that Derrick Henry is the No. 22 overall free agent available. The former Heisman Trophy winner has made the No. 22 a feared number in the NFL, after all.

Henry’s career got off to a slow start, but over the last couple of seasons, the 6-foot-3, 247-pound runner has proven to be one of the best backs in the NFL when given the opportunities.

Over the last two regular seasons, Henry has produced 2,599 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns while also being a key factor in the Tennessee Titans going to AFC Championship Game this past season.

It’s possible that Tennessee could elect to franchise tag Henry in hopes of getting at least one more productive season out of him, but there are many hoping that the two parties are able to get a long-term deal done.
