Derrick Henry just has that extra gear that Mixon doesn't. Mixon IS explosive with great burst, but he isn't fast enough to
outrun Corners and Safeties to the endzone like Henry is.
Chase's willingness to look for a block downfield was something I wasn't expecting, and I was one of the "team Chase" guys since before the draft. It made me love him as a player even more than I already did.
Regarding Henry, he is somewhat of a unicorn (as is the Titan offense) in today's game. I actually didn't think he would succeed at the NFL level like he has, and thought his speed would be negated by a lack (relatively speaking) of quick burst and agility.
