When the Titans drafted Chris Henry in the second round in 2007, a lot of draft experts believed that they were reaching to draft him--he was a workout warrior whose on-field production in college never matched his 40-yard dash time.Just two and a half years later, the Titans appear ready to declare that Mel Kiper was right. When 2009 fifth-round pick Javon Ringer ran around and through the Bucs' defense, it seemed to be the final straw. Unless Henry dominates the next three preseason games or there's an injury to one of the Titans' top backs, it's hard to see how he will beat out Javon Ringer and Quinton Ganther for the final two tailback spots on the Titans' roster.
Ringer is showing the instincts that Henry has never demonstrated while Ganther is a better special teams player than Henry. So it's looking highly likely that Henry's Titans' career will end with 33 total carries, 32 of which came during his rookie season.
What's funny is that on another team's roster, Henry would still have a chance to stick. He doesn't set up blockers like you would like, but he still is an interesting combination of size and speed. But between Chris Johnson, Lendale White and Ringer, Tennessee just doesn't have the need to take a chance on developing Henry.
