Brett Favre knows a thing or two about talents in the NFL, the former Super Bowl champion and 3-time NFL MVP played for 4 teams in the NFL winning it all in 1997. Now the four-time NFL touchdown leader has put his eye on Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry.
In a recent radio interview Favre did not hold back and compared Derrick Henry to Randy Moss, considering, according to Favre, that both players know how to crack a game open and make a game changing play.
Derrick Henry has had a great season so far running for 783 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns and has led the NFL in rushing the last two seasons. Here is what Brett Favre had to say about Derrick Henry and comparing him with Randy Moss.

In the radio interview Favre stated: “I watch Derrick, and he reminds me so much–and this is kind of an odd comparison–but he reminds me a lot of Randy Moss, and how he controlled the game… The only person that would stop Randy Moss would be Randy Moss. We double-covered him, we triple-covered him, and yet he still made the plays. You put nine guys in the box [against Henry], and it doesn’t matter.”
Derrick Henry was the NFL’s offensive player of the year last season, and has been to the Pro-Bowl twice, and joined the 2,000-yard club in 2020. Henry and the Titans lace them up against on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
