Derrick Henry will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer and undoubtedly finish his career as one of the most accomplished running backs in NFL history.
Henry entered Week 5 chasing more history, and early in the first quarter, the King scored career touchdown No. 100 on the first drive at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.

Henry is the 10th player in NFL history with 100+ total touchdowns in his first nine seasons, joining LaDainian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith, Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, Marshall Faulk, and Shaun Alexander. Barry Sanders, Randy Moss, and Adrian Peterson.
Henry had four carries for 11 yards (2.8 avg) and the score on the first drive, and looks to finish the game as the NFL’s leading rusher heading into Week 6.
Henry is now tied with Mike Evans for the most touchdowns among active players.
