Henry spent the first eight years of his career with the Tennessee Titans where he became one of the best, and most dominant running backs in NFL history. Since 2018, he has had double-digit touchdowns in every season, and he led the NFL in rushing in both 2019 and 2020, the latter of which he ran for 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Henry helped the Titans reach the AFC Championship Game in 2019 before being defeated at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs who would go on to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl that season.
Henry is a four-time Pro Bowler and arguably the most dominant running back of his era. He now joins Lamar Jackson in an offense that led the NFL in rushing in 2023.
