For running backs like Tennessee Titans star Derrick Henry, it’s important to take care of the guys upfront who are blocking for you.
And that’s exactly what he did with left tackle, Taylor Lewan.
Lewan posted a video to Instagram that the Titans shared on social media showing off the new orange kicks Henry bought for him.
Even before inking his big four-year, $50 million deal, Henry was no stranger to buying things for his offensive linemen.
At the end of last season after he had secured the rushing title with 1,540 yards and the FedEx Ground Player of the Year award, Henry purchased Rolex watches for the group.
While the offensive line got off to a rocky start to last season, it really came together in the second half, particularly in the running game. Henry totaled five of his six 100-yard games from Week 10 on.
The Titans will be returning four-fifths of that same offensive line in 2020, so expect much of the same success we saw late last season. Henry’s generosity should also serve as more motivation for the O-line to clear running lanes.
