Derrick Henry and the 'incredible' high school player who broke his record

Breaking a Florida high school record once held by current NFL superstar Derrick Henry while playing with one hand is quite an accomplishment. Having him shout you out afterward is likely a surreal experience.

Kayleb Wagner has officially checked all of those boxes in his young football career.

Wagner, a junior running back from Baker High School in District 1-1A, eclipsed Henry's single-game rushing record of 502 yards during his game against South Walton High School on Sept. 17. Wagner racked up 535 yards and six touchdowns, carrying his team to a 49-48 win.

"I think it is incredible," Henry said during a news conference Thursday.
