Derrick Henry joins elite 2,000-yard rushing club and pushes Titans to AFC South title

Derrick Henry is the face of the National Football League at running back.

So many people wanted him to be a defensive player in high school and college, but the native Floridian committed to being a superstar on offense and he has been incredible. In his fifth NFL season with the Tennessee Titans, the alumnus of the University of Alabama claims two rushing titles. After turning in 1,540 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2019, the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner, College Football Playoff National Champion and former unanimous All-American has joined the elite 2,000-yard rushing club.

On Sunday, the Titans faced the Houston Texans for a chance to win its first AFC South title since 2008.
