Eddie George: Derrick Henry’s high carry volume won’t slow him down anytime soon

Derrick Henry is a throwback. He might just be the most unique player that I’ve ever seen at the running back position. 6-3, 250 pounds — and he can run right by you for the homerun or stiff arm you into the third row.

He makes the Tennessee offense tick, forcing defenses to bring a safety down and freeing things up for Ryan Tannehill down the field. However, you’ve got to wonder, how long can he last? It’s a fair question considering the cliff that running backs typically fall off of around 30 years old. Henry will be 27 this season, entering his sixth season in the league.
