Derrick Henry — Running Back

  • Rushing yards: 670
  • Rushing touchdowns: 7
  • Receiving yards: 190
  • Receiving touchdowns: 1

Derrick Henry’s time is coming, according to Titans head coach Mike Mularkey.

But it probably won’t be in 2017.

With that said, however, I still think Henry will see an uptick in carries this season. He’s too good to keep off the field, and he needs to share carries with Murray. It makes sense to keep Murray as fresh as possible.

Henry is going to be a stud running back in the NFL. If something happens to Murray, Titans fans should feel pretty lucky to have a guy like Henry waiting in the wings.
