Pollard will have big shoes to fill in Tennessee. Henry and the Titans parted ways after the former Alabama standout lit the league on fire with how he was able to run the ball for years. Henry amassed 9,502 rushing yards and 90 touchdowns in 119 games with the Titans.
Henry also rushed for more than 2,000 yards on his way to an Offensive Player of the Year award in 2020. The four-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro played in all 17 games last season.

Pollard emerged as the Dallas Cowboys’ starting running back toward the end of Ezekiel Elliott’s time with the team. Pollard started to see more time as the starter in 2022 and then took the job completely after Elliott went to the New England Patriots.
Pollard ran for 1,005 yards and six touchdowns in 17 games for the Cowboys. But the two sides couldn’t agree on a new deal and he walked to free agency.
The 26-year-old will likely be the No. 1 running back for the Titans on paper. Tennessee also has Tyjae Spears in the backfield. Spears ran for 453 yards and two touchdowns last season.
