Many professional athletes relish watching highlights of their performance on the field of play, especially when they include in-game acts of historic proportions. Derrick Henry, though, is tired of seeing replays of his 99-yard run against the Jacksonville Jaguars last December.
Speaking with reporters ahead of Thursday's matchup with Jacksonville, the Tennessee Titans running back insisted he's ready to move on from his record-breaking touchdown run. Still, he couldn't help but take a couple subtle jab at the Jaguars, either.
“I'm tired of seeing (the highlight of) it,” Henry said, per Erik Bacharach of the Nashville Tennessean. “I know, for sure, (the Jaguars) are…I mean it's over with it, man. It was a great moment. I appreciate it. I cherish it. But time to move on, man. It's over. It's all people have been talking about. So I'm sure (the Jaguars) are going to be locked in, ready to go.”
Henry's record-tying run in the second quarter of last season's December 6 tilt between the Titans and Jaguars has been replayed over and over for a reason. It's legitimately one of the most impressive rumbles the NFL has seen in recent memory, a perfect example of the blend of power and top-end speed that makes Henry one of the league's most dangerous ball-carriers.
Still, it's understandable why Henry would want to move on. It was just one play, after all, and the Titans have far more important things to worry about than a single snap from last season as they fight to contend in the AFC South.
