Football fans have gotten a taste of the dominant force that is Derrick Henry over the last couple of seasons. But, unless you follow the Tennessee Titans, or pay attention to the man on social media, you might not have noticed that he has one sick ass fitness regimen. Like, whatever the ‘random shit that’ll help me run over people’ workout is, that’s what Henry does. I’m pretty sure I saw a clip of him carrying a bulldozer up the banks of the Cumberland River once, but don’t quote me on that. I think he plays darts with chopped-down cedar trees, and flips houses the way average Joes flip tires. I can’t confirm any of this – we’ll just call it a gut feeling. The legend of Derrick Henry only continues to grow with this latest clip of him standing on a….I don’t even know what the fuck that thing is…and pushing people away as they approach him. Presumably, as the clip would state, he’s working on that lethal stiff-arm.

Is he practicing stiff-arms? Or, is he training for American Ninja Warrior? My take on all of these wild workout videos is that he’s actually training to be on one of those crazy physically intensive game shows. I say let’s get Derrick Henry on Wipeout and have him just mow down the entire course. We can get that petition going, folks – that’s the power of the internet. Is Slamball still around? Let’s get the King throwing down ridiculous dunks from 20 feet in the air. Let’s bring back MXC on Spike TV -JUST- for Derrick Henry. I could go on and on, but my point is that I don’t think any of these workouts have a damn thing to do with football. It is obvious to me, in my journalistic brain, that something else is afoot here. King Henry has cashed in at the NFL level – two rushing titles, AP Offensive Player of the Year, a 2,000-yard season. There is nothing left for him to do – now, he’s clearly focusing on life after football, and that life includes a hell of a run on American Gladiators. Breaking news – you heard it here on SoBros Network first.
Also, I hope he knows these people and this isn’t just guys bum rushing him at the gym. Maybe we should’ve checked with our sources before posting this.
