It's no secret that Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is one of the most difficult players to tackle in the NFL. Just ask Josh Norman or the entire Jacksonville Jaguars defense. He is probably one of the hardest tackles in league history.
Former NFL All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly shares that sentiment about the Titans star. In his career, Kuechly recorded 1092 tackles, 18 interceptions, and 75 tackles for loss. He was one of the most consistent defenders in the league annually. The Carolina Panthers legend made seven Pro Bowls and five All-Pro squads.
Accordingly, his praise for Henry and the other running backs on his list shouldn't go unnoticed. He was one of the most sure-tacklers at LB in his generation. Kuechly ranks Henry only behind Marshawn Lynch and Alvin Kamara when it comes to the toughest players to tackle in the NFL.
All three of those players are running highlight films. Kamara plays with elite finesse, while Lynch dominated with power. Henry molds burst and strength into a special combination, and a future Hall of Fame linebacker knows that.
