NFL players are some of the toughest athletes in sports. However, when off the field, they have one of the most humble personalities. Some athletes go to the next level to show their respect to the fans. They often fulfill their wishes and make their days brighter. One example is Derrick Henry, who fulfilled a fan’s wish for her father.

Football athletes work tirelessly on the field and also work for the community. They set an example for everyone. The Tennessee Titans’ RB is one such example. He is one of the top running backs and has also made some substantial contributions toward charitable deeds. A fan, Dusti Loreant, revealed how RB Henry fulfilled her father’s wishes.

Dusti Loreant mentioned, “My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and it was already stage four so it was already in his bone. It’s a rare form of cancer too. There’s nothing they could really do just one night. I tweeted out to Derek, and I just said hey like what are the chances like I could just have you say hi to my dad and it just took off on Twitter.”

The Titans nominated Derrick Henry as the team’s nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year. Henry established himself as one of the NFL’s best players. He has, however, made numerous charitable contributions, often through his Two All Foundation.

Derrick Henry would be a threat for the Jaguars in Week 14

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not in a favorable position this season. They have remained the franchise with high expectations but have yet to capitalize. This season has a mirrored situation as it heads into Week 14. The Jags would travel to Tennessee and face one of the fiercest O-lines. However, they have a massive threat in Derrick Henry, and a franchise veteran needs the plan to deal with him.

Jaguars’ defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot mentioned Henry is a large man. He’ll get to their safeties and our corners once he reaches the second level. That is challenging to handle. They must ensure that they hit him quickly and early and that he does not advance to the second level before the Jaguars touch him.
