Henry’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame appears almost assured. The 31-year-old has already surpassed Walter Payton for the fifth all-time in touchdown runs, totaling 112.

He recently had a phenomenal season in 2024, recording 1,921 rushing yards, the highest for a player over 30, alongside being the ninth in history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season. Moreover, Henry is a Heisman Trophy winner from his collegiate days at Alabama.
