What they're saying

"
Derrick Henry is entering his age-32 season, a point where practically every other running back in NFL history has broken down or transitioned into a backup role, but the normal laws of aging simply do not apply here. He remains the most consistent rushing force in the sport, racking up over 300 touches in four straight seasons and bulldozing his way to 12 or more rushing touchdowns in four consecutive years, as well as seven of his past eight.
