Titans RB Derrick Henry says Vikings’ Dalvin Cook is the best running back in football
Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has garnered plenty of praise this season. Rightfully so: Cook has 1,069 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns in the 2020 season.
The latest player to give praise? Derrick Henry, the only running back with more rushing yards than Cook this season. And to be fair, Cook has played one less game than Henry.
“Dalvin Cook is having a phenomenal season,” Henry said (H/T Titans Wire). “Right now, I would say he’s the best back in football. Just week after week, always dominating. Always having a great game. Running the ball. Catching the ball. Very explosive.”
Henry currently has 1,079 rushing yards. It will be interesting to see who takes the rushing crown at the end of the year. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if it was either Henry or Cook.
“He is doing a great job this year,” Henry said of Cook. “That guy’s just been incredible the whole year. He runs hard, runs through tackles, makes guys miss. He’s just been balling.”
