If there’s anyone in the NFL who can challenge the legendary shirtless photos Los Angeles Rams superstar defensive lineman Aaron Donald posted in 2019, it’s Tennessee Titans running back, Derrick Henry.
Here’s an example of what Donald posted back in 2019 (warning: the following photos will make you feel horrible about yourself).

I mean, the man is an absolute freak.
Well, Henry did his best to one-up Donald with this photo he posted on his Instagram a few days back. He even mentioned Donald in the photo.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think Henry and Donald play the same position.
Look at that photo and then imagine this 6-foot-3, 247-pound absolute unit running at you on a football field with 4.5 40-yard dash speed. I shudder to think about having to bring him down.
Titans punter Brett Kern speaks for all of us when he says he’s thankful he doesn’t have to tackle someone like Henry.
And people laughed when I wanted to punt instead of play defense in high school !! Exhibit A https://t.co/Peded7yWJ6

Henry has made plenty of people wish they were punters, including Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas and the entire Jacksonville Jaguars franchise.

No matter how many times Titans fans watch these clips, they never get old. You can literally play them on a loop and that still wouldn’t be enough.
Both clips are a stark reminder of how lucky the Titans are to have a physical specimen like Henry, and how lucky we all are that we don’t have to tackle him.
