Hand the king his scepter, or hand him the ball 20 to 25 times per game, whichever comes first. As expected, Derrick Henry earns a top-five ranking on the NFL Network’s Top 100 Players of 2021 list. That makes him the highest-ranked running back on the player’s ranking and the top-ranked member of the Tennessee Titans.
He lands at number four, and that’s six spots higher than he landed in 2020. He joins teammates Julio Jones (29), A.J. Brown (62), Jeffrey Simmons (78), and Ryan Tannehill (83) as the fifth member of the Titans to be named.
