Former Alabama running back Derrick Henry has made a name for himself in the 2019-2020 NFL Playoffs by way of his size, speed and force.
There are plenty of jokes and memes on social media about how strong Henry is, especially what he does to defenders after taking a handoff.
Well, now you can see what the former Heisman-winning back does during practice in order to achieve those devastating stiff arms.

In the video, you can see the Tennessee Titans head coach, Mike Vrabel, trying to punch the ball out of Henry’s grip.
However, the main piece in the video is the coach holding a long stick with a helmet at the end of it, this is to mimic a defender getting close and attempting a tackle.
As he’s running, he is hitting the helmet to work on the technique of his stiff arm.
The drill looks to be cut short because Henry’s strength was just too much for the practice tool, the helmet pops right off of the stick and goes rolling.
One can only imagine what damage that stiff arm would have done if it was on an actual defender.
Henry looks to lead his team to the Super Bowl this season, but clearly has his sights on the task at hand, the AFC Championship vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.
