Former Alabama RB Derrick Henry cracks top-10 on NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2020

After signing a four-year extension worth $50 million for the Tennessee Titans, Derrick Henry received one of the highest honors for a player in the National Football League.

On Wednesday, he was voted by his peers at No. 10 on the league’s Top 100 Players of 2020.

The former Alabama running back was behind only Christian McCaffery (No. 6, Carolina Panthers) at the position, as he turned in a memorable 2019 performance. Henry broke through in 2018 with his first career 1,000-yard rushing season; however, the nickname “King Henry” became a reality during the following year.
