Derrick Henry hilariously answers question on was he paid at Alabama: “I got paid nothing. They paid me in rings.”

Derrick Henry has been the best running back in the National Football League for two straight years.

He has twice won the league’s rushing title and paced the Tennessee Titans to the AFC playoffs. Henry was awarded NFL Offensive Player of the Year and made first-team All-Pro for his performance in 2020. Before earning the respect of his peers in the pros, the native Floridian was a superstar in college. As a five-star prospect, he pushed the University of Alabama to a pair of Southeastern Conference titles in 2014 and 2015 and a College Football Playoff National Championship in the 2015 season.
