NFL Predictions: Every team’s MVP for the 2020 season
Tennessee Titans: RB Derrick Henry
Derrick Henry knows the meaning of putting the team on his back and he did just that in 2019, leading the Tennessee Titans to the AFC Championship where they fell just short to the eventual champions. Henry won the rushing title with 1,540 yards and 16 touchdowns and was a legitimate MVP candidate.
He continued his incredible run in the playoffs and punished Baltimore and New England to the tune of 377 rushing yards and even threw a touchdown pass against the Ravens. His hot streak ended against the Chiefs after the Titans fell behind but he comes into the 2020 season as one of the most important players in the NFL.
Tennessee has high hopes for the 2020 season after adding weapons on both sides of the ball but it all starts and ends with the man they call King Henry. If he can be as effective in 2020 as he was last year, perhaps with a lighter workload to keep him fresh, then the Titans are a legitimate playoff and Super Bowl contender in the AFC.
