Titans RBs were part of exclusive group in 2023

One of the bright spots on offense for the Tennessee Titans in 2023 was their running backs group, which was led by Derrick Henry and rookie Tyjae Spears.

Henry finished second and seventh in rushing yards and touchdowns, respectively, and Spears had the fifth-most rushing yards and fourth-most scrimmage yards among rookie backs in the league.

But both Henry and Spears did something only one other running back in the NFL did, also, with the pair tallying grades of 70 or better in rushing, receiving and pass-blocking, per Ian Hartitz of Fantasy Life.

The only other back to hit that mark in all three categories with a minimum of 100 carries was Atlanta Falcons running back, Tyler Allgeier.

While Spears is expected to have a more prominent role after an impressive rookie campaign, Henry’s future is far less clear, as the veteran back is set to hit free agency and there is a very real possibility he doesn’t come back.
