It’s no secret that Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is a special ball carrier who will likely find himself in Canton, Ohio, as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame whenever he decides to hang up his cleats.
He is currently in the midst of one of the most incredible primes that the running back position has ever seen. Since Week 14 of the 2018 season, Henry has produced the following:
Rushing yards: 7,175
Receiving yards: 925
Total yards: 8,100
Rushing TDs: 66
Total TDs: 71
Needless to say, Henry has achieved his fair share of accomplishments over these last few years, but the Alabama legend could now be on the verge of adding a few more.
The former Offensive Player of the Year award winner only needs one more 200-yard rushing game to eclipse O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson for the most in NFL history. All three are currently tied with six.

Henry also currently has the third-most career touchdowns of any active skill player in the NFL with 81.
Only wide receivers Mike Evans (82) and Davante Adams (87) have more, and both have been in the league for two more seasons than Henry, whose career really didn’t get going until the end of his third year.

The two players ahead of him, Mike Evans & Davante Adams, have 1 and 6 more touchdowns respectively, but have both played 2 more years than Henry.

There’s no telling what else Henry will accomplish over the duration of the rest of his career, but if you’re a Titans fan I highly suggest you enjoy every second of it because nothing lasts forever and we may never see a run like the one Henry is on ever again.
