Derrick Henry is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Pro Athlete of the Week
Former University of Alabama standout Derrick Henry continues to prove why he is one of, if not, the best running back in the NFL.
On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans tailback tallied up 133 rushing yards and one touchdown on 28 carries in the 30-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
His 29-yard score came in overtime and Henry became the first player in NFL history to score two touchdowns in overtime in a single season. He walked-off the Houston Texas earlier this season.
That game-winner against the Ravens gave him the 50th touchdown of his career and he has now eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards for a third-straight season.
Henry is this week's BamaCentral Crimson Tide Pro Athlete of the Week.
