Pollard will be a big part of Tennessee. Henry and the Titans parted ways after the former Alabama standout ignited the league with the way he ran the ball over the years. Henry had 9,502 rushing yards and 90 touchdowns in 119 games with the Titans.

Henry also rushed for over 2,000 yards en route to the 2020 Offensive Player of the Year award. Henry, a four-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro, played in all 17 games last season.

Pollard emerged as the starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys toward the end of Ezekiel Elliott’s tenure with the team. Pollard began to see more time as a starter starting in 2022, and after Elliott was traded to the New England Patriots, he became a full-time starter.

Pollard ran for 1,005 yards and six touchdowns in 17 games for the Cowboys. However, the two sides were unable to agree on a new contract, and he became a free agent.
