 He breaks the plate. Touchdown! Tell me about your leadership style and how it's evolved throughout your time with the Tennessee Titans. Yeah, I'm more of a show you how I work, type of leader, I can be vocal when I need to be, when it's time to be. And I think the more experience you get throughout the years, the more you evolve as a leader, as a player. And I'm trying to be a better teammate as possible than being impressed by your teammates. How much has leadership helped guide this team through maybe some of the valleys? Leadership builds culture, so everyone knows the standard and how we want to play. Each and every Sunday, how we want to work when we're out on the field, in the weight room, and then tension the detail in the film room letting transition. So I think leadership is setting standards for everybody. You're a guy who, because of your performance on the field, guys naturally it seems gravitate to you and kind of follow your lead. Is that something you had to learn how to manage and kind of understand throughout your playing career? You know, coming up, playing football, freshman, you know, watching the seniors. And through high school, then going to college, then the freshman, then getting older, and then being a junior, being one of the leaders. And it starts over and gets to the league, and you just watch older guys' vets and see how they work, and then when your time comes, you do the things that you were taught throughout the years and let it transition to your leadership to be able to help younger guys as well. Who are some of the leaders on this team for Derek Henry? Yeah, I was like, big Jeff, Jeff Simmons. Throw it up, girl. Throw it up. Communicate, help her, man. Is that rock now? I'm him, man. I'm him. I'm him. De'Andre, he's been a great player and a big vet. Levis looking to throw it. Throws deep downfield. There's Hopkins all alone. 20, 15, 10, 5, and so. Ladies and gentlemen, give him 61 yards. Touchdown Titans. I have an ardent key. Come here and bring energy. Ow! Having the Z's. I'm bringing that type of fan style leadership here. Hey, right here. Hit that moment. This is the final moment in the game. Who gonna be the one to make the play? Yeah, thank you, y'all. A group of guys that are great leaders that bring energy, and a lot of guys on teams feed off of. When you're in the running backs room, you're working with younger guys, you're working with guys who are kind of in the mid-range of their career. How do you manage wanting to mentor and helping guys but also recognizing the reality that there's only so many spots to go around? Yeah, just trying to be a resource to them as possible and trying to help them in any way possible. Everything I've learned to help them grow, be a great teammate, and also push them compete. Lead by how I work and then lead by trying to help them teach and do anything I can to help make them better. Henry on his right here. I'm gonna give Henry a chance on the left side. Here he goes, the big lead. To the 25, to the 20, to the 50, to the 10, to the 5, to the end zone. Ladies and gentlemen, the King Test. Oh, that's not a yes. Hell yes! You're not just a leader within the four walls of Ascension St. Thomas Forts Park, though. You're also a leader within the National Football League. There are a lot of guys around this league that look to you as someone who can help them achieve what they want to do in this league, which is have some real attention. Is that a role that you've embraced helping guys not only within the Tennessee Titans, but within the National Football League? Yeah, I think it's always great to have a fellowship with other great players around the league. It's always a good time to pick your brain around guys like Pro Bowl and things like that. And just to hit our perspective, it's always cool to have a fellowship with guys around the league who are great players and also great people. There's really no one else who understands what your day-to-day is like and what your world is like than other running backs in the league, right? There's got to be some camaraderie there. Yeah, definitely. We all have a different playing style, so at the end of the day it's all about running hard, making guys miss. One cup runs, being physical, being able to outrun your opponent. So a lot of similarities in how we train, and the position. You're also so present in the community, not only in Nashville, but in U.E., that not only do you want to help guys within the organization, not only do you want to help other running backs, but you also want to help the community that have given you so much. When you have this platform, you got to use it as much as possible. It's a blessing to be in the spot that I am, and other guys being in the playing in the league and they're their dream. And to be blessed, I think you should consider blessing others. In year eight, you've done a lot of stuff to get your body where you want it to be. You've learned a lot about maintaining how to adjust throughout a season. What is there left for Derek Henry to tweak? I like, as always, running for improvement each and every year. And that's what I try to focus on. I try to be better than the year before. Elevate your game to another level, year after year. And I'll always be my focus, no matter if I'm at the top or not at the bottom. It's always a growth mindset. To be the best that I can each and every year and be better than the year before. You still have things to prove? I still have a lot to prove. And that's always been in my mind. I always feel me. I never say it, but I just go out there and try to showcase by the way I go out there and play how I work.
