What happened: The source called Derrick Henry the greatest running back in NFL history right now. That is landing after Derrick Henry reached 125 career rushing touchdowns this week. Wire Report also noted he posted 104 rushing yards after contact in Week 1.

Why it matters: A greatest ever argument stops sounding forced when the touchdown total is that high and the power has clearly not faded. Being the only named back above 100 rushing yards after contact in Week 1 says this is not just a legacy debate. If the production still looks this dominant in 2026, the all-time conversation is fair.
