The last running back to win back-to-back rushing titles was the ageless Derrick Henry. Running backs typically have short shelf lives in the NFL, but King Henry is an anomaly.
At 30 years old, he had 1,921 (his second highest ever), 18 total touchdowns (tied for his most ever) and 5.9 yards per carry (the best of his career by .5 yards).
Will he regain his rushing title crown back from Super Bowl champion Saquon Barkley?
