Jumbo Package: Is Tennessee still a rival?

The King was named AFC Player of the Week for single-handedly demolishing America’s Team, your Buffalo Bills, in a surprisingly high-scoring and non-boring game by the standards of the Titans.

I was running through his stat sheet last night, and Henry is already almost halfway to Thurman Thomas’s total yards from scrimmage in just 6 years, and the first two of those, Derrick was a part-time player. (The oft-injured Thomas is in the NFL Hall of Fame after a 13-year career, if you want to know whether that’s a decent career comparison.)

Given the low mileage on DH out of college and in his first two seasons, plus his infamous good health, Henry could finish in the Top 10-12 for total scrimmage yards — for a player that is primarily a ball carrier.
