Titans Could Draft Derrick Henry's Successor
3 years agoThe Tennessee Titans could look to draft a successor to running back Derrick Henry in this year's draft. Henry had the first major injury of his career last season and missed nine games with a Jones fracture in his right foot. Henry's first sign of vulnerability could lead Tennessee to start thinking about his eventual replacement. The Titans averaged 147.6 rushing yards per game in eight games with Henry last year and averaged 135.8 rushing yards per game in nine games without him, so the team may not need to invest a high pick on a running back in the draft. But D'Onta Foreman signed with the Panthers as a free agent. If the Titans draft a RB this year, they could choose to err on the side of caution and spell Henry more often than in previous seasons to extend his longevity.
