Former Alabama Heisman-winning running back Derrick Henry is one of the most unique beings to ever carry a football. He looks like a linebacker, but repeatedly is among the highest-rated rushers in the league.
One of Henry’s famous moves is the stiff arm, which is something that has landed him in headlines and highlight reels since his high-school days.
Sure, a stiff arm isn’t uncommon in football, but not in the way Henry does it. He manages to throw people down onto the ground with scary force; or he can launch a defender backwards five yards. It honestly just depends on what mood he is in.
In the past, we’ve seen Henry practice stiff arms by hitting a helmet attached to a stick. Now, Henry has upgraded to live participants. He is literally hitting three guys in the back of the head as he runs in a straight line.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Derrick Henry throughout the 2021 NFL season, and we will certainly be showing you every amazing stiff arm he produces this year.
