The discourse on running backs and their value to the NFL is at it again. Derrick Henry, who is more valuable to the NFL than 99% of players in the league regardless of position, tweeted in response to ESPN’s Matt Miller that the hard work he puts into his craft “don’t even matter” because people like Miller keep arguing that he’s not valuable. No matter what he or any other running back does.
“At this point, just take the RB position out the game then,” tweeted Henry in response to Miller saying that teams should draft a running back, work him into the ground, give him at most one franchise tag, and then replace him.
