Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is among the top-five vote-getters for the 2021 Pro Bowl, coming in at No. 4 on the list overall in the fan vote.
As of Thursday, Henry had received 185,494 votes, which puts him second at the running back position to only Minnesota Vikings star, Dalvin Cook. Henry does have more votes than any running back in the AFC, though.
Only three players have received more fan votes than Henry in the entire league: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (No. 1), Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (No. 2), and Cook (No. 3). Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (No. 5) rounds out the top five after Henry.

The recognition Henry is getting is well-deserved. He has been the driving force behind one of the best offenses in the NFL, and the Titans are 8-3 as a result. He also leads the league with 1,257 rushing yards, over 100 more than Cook, and is on track to set a new career-high in the category and win his second consecutive rushing crown.
As far as other Titans are concerned, cornerback Malcolm Butler is the only other player on the team to be in the top 10 at his position in the Pro Bowl vote.
Butler currently sits at No. 3 in the AFC at cornerback behind the Baltimore Ravens’ Marlon Humphrey (No. 2) and the Miami Dolphins’ Xavien Howard.
