NASHVILLE — If this week is goodbye for Tennessee Titans great Derrick Henry, he leaves a legacy of Pro Bowls, playoff football, and the NFL's most devastating stiff arm.

It's likely that Henry will be playing elsewhere in 2024. Henry is a free agent and the Titans reportedly are going to sign former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard to a three-year contract. 

Henry, 30, has expressed his desire to play for a contender, possibly the Baltimore Ravens. But for eight seasons, he was the face of the Titans:

  • 9,502 rushing yards (second in franchise history behind Eddie George's 10,009);
  • an NFL Offensive Player of the Year award;
  • four Pro Bowl selections;
  • and one first-team All-Pro honor. NO

Henry has 90 career touchdowns, none more dramatic than a 99-yard run against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's look at that play and some other memories.

Dec. 6, 2018, vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Henry had 238 rushing yards and four touchdowns, including this four-stiff-arm, 99-yard romp.

Nov. 10, 2019, vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Henry's 68-yard touchdown run against the Chiefs is one of those plays that demonstrates his strength, speed, and vision.

Oct. 18, 2020, vs. Houston Texans

Henry got loose for 94 yards against a division rival.

Henry had a legendary stiff-arm against the Ravens.

Henry addressed the fans after rushing for 153 yards and a touchdown in his final game.
