Titans running back Derrick Henry has been one of the most impressive players in the NFL this preseason, and he’s playing well again tonight.

Henry got the start in the preseason game against the Dolphins and ended the Titans’ first offensive drive with a one-yard touchdown run. Later in the first quarter he broke off a 22-yard run and followed that up with a 26-yard run.

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Henry entered tonight’s game with 154 rushing yards in the preseason. Although he’ll be the backup to DeMarco Murray once the regular season starts, Henry has consistently looked effective as a runner.

It is, of course, just the preseason. But Henry has looked about as good this preseason as any rookie not named Dak Prescott.
