Ex-Titans RB named to Fox Sports’ NFL 2020s Half-Decade Team<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry added to an already Hall of Fame-caliber resume last week. In his first season with the Baltimore Ravens last year, Tennessee’s No. 45 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft shined, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors.<\/p>\n

To cap off a historic performance from Henry last season, Fox Sports named<\/a> the NFL’s active rushing leader to the NFL 2020’s Half-Decade Team.<\/p>\n

“Henry has rushed for at least 1,900 yards twice in the last five years (2020 with the Titans, 2024 with the Ravens), establishing himself as the preeminent bell-cow back of his era. He may not have the pass-catching ability of other running backs in recent years, but his consistent dominance stands out at a position where the window for elite play can be so small. The former second-round pick is averaging 102.6 rushing yards per game over the last six seasons.”<\/p>\n

Over his eight seasons in Tennessee, Henry racked up 2,030 carries for 9,502 rushing yards and 93 total touchdowns. He was named a first-team All-Pro in 2020, a second-team All-Pro in 2019 and made four trips to the Pro Bowl as a Titan.<\/p>\n

The NFL’s 19th all-time leading rusher is set to enter his 10th season in the NFL, coming off his third All-Pro campaign. He totaled 1,921 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground in 325 carries a season ago. Henry played a crucial role in Baltimore’s league-leading rushing attack alongside two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, helping the Ravens to a 12-5 record and a playoff win over Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
