Titans RB Derrick Henry Says ‘Tom Brady is the GOAT’

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the greatest to ever play the game, and Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry shares the same opinion as every Patriots fan. However, he did endorse Ryan Tannehill when asked about the possibility to see Brady sign with the team.

“I would think: Why isn’t Ryan Tannehill good enough?” Henry said on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast when asked about the Titans’ potential interest in Brady.

“He still can play,” he said of Brady. “Obviously, age doesn’t matter for him, he’s still playing at a high level, but my question would be: Why ain’t Ryan good enough, you know?” 

Tannehill led Tennessee to the AFC Championship Game this season. His team defeated Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC Wild Card Round.

“Tom Brady is the GOAT,” Henry said. “That is no question. At all. The best of all time. But then, at the same time, I mean, Ryan Tannehill is our quarterback, went to the AFC Championship. Why would we not want Ryan back? Just wanted to clear that up, Tom Brady is the GOAT.”

There have been several rumors regarding the six-time Super Bowl champion and his pending free agency. There are some connections between the Titans and Brady.

Derrick Henry praises Tom Brady

Peter King of NBC Sports wouldn’t be surprised if Brady puts on a Titans jersey. Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports says this would be “an ideal pairing.”

Tannehill’s last season was really impressive. He completed 70.3 percent of his passes for 2,742 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 regular-season games. However, he is set to become unrestricted free agency this offseason. He is a lot younger than TB12. Obviously, the Titans locker room supports him a lot. That’s the conclusion we brought after Henry’s comments on Brady and Tannehill.

This will be a long offseason, and top players are set to hit the open market. Brady is one of them, and he is probably the biggest target at the moment. Brady has all the talent and experience to make a bold decision. He can do whatever he wants.
