The Derrick Henry stiff-arm/toss-aside/whatever you want to call it of Bills vet Josh Norman is still being buzzed about on Wednesday, long after the Tennessee Titans beat Buffalo 42-16. The memes are everywhere and each one is better than the next.
So what did Henry have to say about his power move that left everyone’s jaws on the ground? He delivered as good of a quote about it as the stiff-arm itself.
Via SI.com, he had this to say: “I have been doing too many curls. I have to lay off the arms.”
He had a more serious answer after that: “It just came natural to me because I have long arms. So, that’s the first thing I use to break a tackle or get away from the defender. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid.”
That much is true. Did you see compilations of his best stiff-arms?
