Derrick Henry
The Titans are another team I mentioned were a squad that could catch some people off guard in 2018. They already were a playoff team, despite using schemes that didn’t really fit their personnel, especially on offense.
Henry is one of those players whom I think simply wasn’t utilized in the right fashion. While at 6’3, 245+ pounds you’d expect a running back to be a gap-scheme battering-ram, Henry is a zone-runner through and through.
He doesn’t have the type of stop-and-start quickness of a smaller guy to jump from gap to gap or a natural leverage advantage, but much rather it’s his ability to build up momentum and get to the edge, where he uses his off-arm exceptionally well to keep defenders away from his body. When opponents can square the enormous former Heisman winner up, they have a chance, but once he gets a full head of steam and has an angle on defenders, it’s over.
