Derrick Henry is a name that every NFL fan knows. He has broken countless records since being drafted into the NFL in 2016. While a member of the Tennessee Titans, Henry has ran for over 9,500 yards and has scored 90 touchdowns. With his size and speed, he is more than likely to go down as one of the best running backs to ever play.
At the end of the 2023 season, the running back said his goodbyes to Titans fans, assuming that he’d be playing elsewhere when the 2024 season began.
“Titans fans, I just want to say thank you for the greatest eight years of my life,” Henry said. “The ups and the downs, y’all been there for everything — through the adversity, watching me grow as a person and a player, always supporting me. I love y’all. … Hopefully I was an inspiration to all the young kids and everybody in the community.”
There is pretty high speculation, after giving fans a goodbye, that running-back Derrick Henry will be wearing different colors when next season begins.
Derrick Henry purchases a home in Dallas
In terms of this situation, there was an instagram post by a man named Leston Eustache, who is a realtor in Dallas, Texas. The post consists of a picture of Eustache with Henry with a caption that reads, “I just sold the biggest home in price and size of my career to the biggest person I know. The #1 running back in the NFL @last_king_2, etc.”
This could just be a real estate decision that Henry wanted to make just based on liking the city of Dallas and wanting to own land there. A lot of NFL players own several houses/land across the country in different states where their home team is not located but it could be a sign that Dallas may be where he wants to end up. Could this purchase by Henry be a sign that Dallas is where he’ll go in free agency?
Henry is only 30 years old and has plenty left in the tank. In the 2023 season, Henry ran for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns behind one of the worst offensive lines he’s ran behind in his career, proving that he is still fully capable of being a starting running back in the NFL.
The only question now is, who will he be a starting running back for in the 2024 season?
