Derrick Henry named NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year; two former Tide stars named to All-Rookie Team

The AFC and NFC Championship matchups are this weekend in the National Football League.

Despite the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins (did not make playoffs) all at home now, all three teams produced at least one player on Pro Football Writers Association’s (PFWA) list of honors. When it comes to the University of Alabama, the honorees all hail from the Crimson Tide as alums. The trio of Derrick Henry (Titans), Jedrick Wills (Browns) and Raekwon Davis (Dolphins) were named for PFWA honors.

Henry was selected as the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year via the outlet.
