Derrick Henry places higher value on national title than Heisman Trophy

The Heisman Trophy is an elite fraternity with only one new member added each year.

Still, according to Derrick Henry, it wasn’t even the biggest accomplishment for him in the season he won it.

Henry, a former Alabama running back, won the 2015 Heisman Trophy, but the national championship he won with the Crimson Tide that same season was a much bigger achievement for him.

Henry was candid when asked about which he values more when he recently went on the “The Rashad Johnson Show,” a radio program on WPRT-FM in Nashville hosted by the former Alabama star and current Tennessee Titans safety.
