Derrick Henry didn’t learn this when playing Alabama football
No matter what Alabama football‘s future holds, fans will always love Derrick Henry more than the average player. His Heisman season was historic, and his highlight reel made defenders look like children.
That level of success and strength comes from intense discipline in the weight room. Derrick Henry worked out in college, but he appears to be on a new level with his NFL workout routine. In a recent video, he was seen doing pushups on a yoga ball while gripping a resistance band. The balance this takes is wild, but they added a chain to his neck for extra weight.

It cannot be overstated how insane this is. Professional athletes are usually freaks of nature. They can do things that normal humans can’t fathom. This is on another level.
Most of the top athletes in the world would not be able to do this workout. It takes balance and core strength along with endurance.
Derrick Henry is used to standing out amongst his peers. He did it in high school. He did it while playing Alabama football. Since being drafted by the Titans, he has done it in the NFL.
Last season, Derrick Henry reached the impressive mark of 2000 rushing yards on the season. Most of his yards came after the contact, which shows how important his strength is to his style of play.
We’ve seen crazy things from Derrick Henry in the past, but this is on a new level. He has pushed trucks and thrown NFL players on the field. Still, this one video stands out above the rest.
Henry is looking to build off of his record-setting season last year, and workouts like this one will help him do it. If he can somehow get stronger this offseason, he could rack up another 2000 rushing yards for the Titans. Either way, Alabama football fans will love to watch.
