As if we needed more proof that Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is a beast, Pro Football Focus has provided it for us in the form of the “forced missed tackles” metric.

In Henry’s case, he finished tied for first in the NFL in 2018 with 45, along with the Seattle Seahawks’ Chris Carson and the Washington Redskins’ Adrian Peterson.
