The Titans selected Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of the University of Alabama. The 6-foot-3-inch, 247-pounder is a powerful, downhill runner who displays tremendous speed and balance. He racked up 2,293 rushing yards and scored 22 rushing touchdowns during his first three NFL seasons, including his first career 1,000-yard season in 2018. At Alabama, the Heisman Trophy winner set numerous school and SEC records while leading his team to a National Championship in 2015.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

• In 2018, Henry was named to the PFWA All-AFC team after setting single-season career highs in carries (215), rushing yards (1,059), rushing long (99t), and touchdowns (12).
• 2018 marked Henry's first career 1,000-yard season. He finished sixth in the NFL in rushing yards.
• In 2018, named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 13 after collecting a franchise-best 238 rushing yards with a franchise-tying four rushing touchdowns against Jacksonville on Thursday Night Football (12/6). In the same game, he scored four rushing touchdowns to tie the franchise's single-game record (Earl Campbell, Lorenzo White).
• In Week 13 of the 2018 season, recorded the second 99-yard touchdown run in NFL history (Tony Dorsett). The run also set the mark for the longest touchdown run in franchise history and tied for the longest scrimmage play in NFL history. He also became the second player in NFL history with a rushing touchdown of at least 90 yards and a rushing touchdown of at least 50 yards in the same game (Chris Johnson).
• In 2018, named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December after registering 97 carries for 625 yards and eight touchdowns.

Henry became the first to accomplish the feat in fewer than 20 carries (17).
• In 2017, Henry led the Titans with 744 rushing yards on 176 carries, and he rushed for five touchdowns for the second consecutive season.
• In the team's Wild Card playoff victory at Kansas City on Jan. 6, 2018, Henry recorded a franchise postseason record of 191 scrimmage yards (156 rushing, 35 receiving), breaking a 57-year-old postseason record set on Jan. 1, 1961, when Billy Cannon had 178 scrimmage yards against the Los Angeles Chargers. Henry's 156 rushing yards ranked second in franchise postseason history (162 by Eddie George on Jan. 16, 2000).
• In 2016, Henry rushed for 490 yards and five touchdowns to become the third rookie for the franchise in the "Titans era" to score at least five touchdowns in a season, joining Vince Young (seven rushing touchdowns in 2006) and Chris Johnson (nine rushing and one receiving in 2008).
• Despite playing just three seasons and not seeing extensive action in his first campaign at Alabama, Henry finished his career as the school's all-time rushing leader with 3,591 yards.
• As a senior in 2015, Henry claimed the Heisman Trophy and led his team to the College Football Playoff National Championship. He also won the Doak Walker and Maxwell Award and was selected as the Walter Camp Player of the Year after rushing for an Alabama and Southeastern Conference record 2,219 yards.
