Derrick Henry was named 2015 SEC Offensive Player of the Year earlier on Wednesday, and the SEC sent out a congratulatory tweet for the Alabama running back.
There was only one catch. The conference didn’t include all of Henry in his image.
Many people commented on the graphic afterwards, pointing out that Henry’s tattoos on his right arm were edited out of the graphic in the tweet:

At least as of Saturday after the SEC Championship Game, Henry clearly has tattoos as you can see below:
Regardless of whether Henry’s tattoos were worthy of the award, Henry certainly was. He broke the SEC single-season record for rushing yards (1,986) with 23 touchdowns (at least one in every game this season).
