Derrick Henry has been a force to be reckoned with this season. As NFL teams desperately attempt to figure out how to stop him running the football, Henry is adding another weapon to his arsenal.

NFL teams beware — Henry can now throw the football as well. In the first quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs, Henry showed off his arm on a five-yard touchdown pass.

Tight end MyCole Pruitt was the recipient, but Henry made the play happen. Moving forward, opposing defenses will have to keep their eyes on Henry’s arms — and not just because he can throw monster stiff arms.

The Titans are embroiled in a game against the Chiefs with huge AFC playoff implications. Following his three touchdown performance last week, Derrick Henry is taking over the game once again.

Derrick Henry in 2021

No running back has been better in 2021 than Derrick Henry. So far this season, the former Alabama star has rushed for 783 yards and ten touchdowns.

Additionally, he’s been a bigger factor catching the football as well this season. Henry has 16 catches on the season, accumulating 138 yards in the process.

Evidently, Henry’s now a triple threat — able to throw the football as well. As you can see, Derrick Henry can score the football in a multitude of different ways.
