Oops: Atlanta Braves confuse former Alabama DL Dalvin Tomlinson with Derrick Henry

While former Alabama RB Derrick Henry is certainly a big dude, weighing in at around 250 pounds, he’s not nearly as big as ex-Crimson Tide DL Dalvin Tomlinson, who tips the scales at more than 300 pounds.

However, on Friday night, the Atlanta Braves got the two former Alabama stars confused for one another.

As you can see below, Tomlinson was on hand for the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks and the former Georgia high school star led the “Tomahawk Chop.” But, as you can see below, the Braves misidentified him as Henry:

Fortunately, they corrected the mistake by the time they welcomed Tomlinson on Twitter:

When Tomlinson rejoins the New York Giants this summer, he might now lobby for some carries on offense. After all, if he looks like Derrick Henry, he could fit right in alongside Saquon Barkley.
