The Titans have advanced to the AFC Championship game after shocking the Ravens in the divisional round of the playoffs on Saturday evening. Tennessee has a not-so-secret weapon in running back Derrick Henry, who has rushed for 377 yards in two postseason games.
The Broncos have a Henry of their own, he’s just not a running back.
Denver outside linebacker Von Miller (6-3, 250 pounds) has nearly identical measurables to Henry (6-3, 247 pounds). The two players posted similar numbers at their respective combines, as this NFL Network graphic shows:
Miller attended the combine in 2011. Henry attended in 2016.
It’s easy to imagine Henry playing outside linebacker and disrupting games as a pass rusher like Miller, who has totaled 106 sacks in his career.
It’s a little harder to imagine Miller playing running back — he’s been a defensive end or outside linebacker dating all the way back to high school.
Who knows, though? Perhaps Miller could have been a star running back.
