With all the areas the Tennessee Titans need to address this offseason via the 2023 NFL draft and free agency, especially on the offensive side of the ball, one position that doesn’t need an upgrade is at running back.
That’s because Tennessee still sports one of the best in the business at the position in running back Derrick Henry, who is coming off another impressive season.
Despite many writing his obituary following an injury-shortened 2021, Henry still managed to finish second in rushing yards, scores, and he posted career-best numbers as a pass-catcher.
Making The King’s season more impressive was the fact that he posted those stats despite having a putrid line in front of him, and with little help around him in general.
Just imagine what he could’ve done if that wasn’t the case, but I digress…
While Henry is entrenched as the starter for the final year of his contract, there has been some thought that Tennessee might extend him to free up some cap space for this offseason.
The risk there is that Henry is turning 30 next January, and that’s typically the age when running backs start to break down. We’ll take a closer look at that and more in our offseason preview for the running back position.
