Tennessee Titans star Derrick Henry is quickly approaching the 30-year-old threshold that often spells the end of the line for NFL running backs, but there is some belief within the league that Henry's physical makeup will help him remain productive longer than most.
Speaking to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, an anonymous NFL personnel director praised Henry, saying: "There's a little decline, but he's still an anomaly. You just don't know how long it will last. If anyone can do it, it will be him. Adrian Peterson is a guy like that. They can last longer."
At 6'3" and 247 pounds, Henry is one of the most physically imposing running backs in NFL history, and that size has helped him put up some spectacular numbers during his seven-year career.
