Back-to-back rushing titles and vying for a third, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry faced real adversity for the first time in the National Football League this past season.
The Titans superstar was off to a historic pace, accumulating 937 rushing and 10 touchdowns on 219 carries through the first eight weeks. Not only was he on pace for 2,000 yards again, but to also break Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record.
Then came the news that Henry would require foot surgery, forcing him to miss the remainder of the regular season. Such a long injury stint is not something Henry is used to.
