Three weeks into preseason, running back Derrick Henry is still drawing rave reviews from his coaches in Tennessee. The Titans’ 2016 second-round draft pick continues to show he is ready for the next level, proving he can handle the rigors of the Titans’ offensive game plan and help the team’s revamped running game.
So far, the former Alabama product has been everything as advertised – with still some room to grow.
While the rookie is still listed as the second back on the depth chart behind DeMarco Murray, his preseason showing could lead to a split in carries, and a better offense than the one Tennessee showed much of last season.
