Derrick Henry is an ideal fit for a downhill-oriented, run-heavy offense that prioritizes power blocking schemes and features a traditional fullback.
Year 1 impact as a primary ball-carrier, with the ceiling to become an All-Pro bellcow back who dominates touches.
His value significantly diminishes in a pass-heavy, outside zone-oriented system that relies on smaller, quicker backs.
Henry's unique combination of size, speed, and power makes him a generational talent for specific offensive philosophies.
Selected #45 overall in Round 2 of the 2016 NFL Draft by Tennessee Titans out of Alabama.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
