Henry is well on his way on another 2000 yard season and perhaps his first NFL MVP Award. So far on the season, Henry has 783 yards and 10 touchdowns in only his 6th game of the year.
Last year, Henry ran for 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns. He is on pace right now to break his own record and the NFL is not even at the halfway point of the 2021 season yet.
In his short NFL career, Henry already has over 6,000 yards rushing, and the former Alabama running back and Heisman Trophy winner, is considered the premiere back right now in the league.
