Happy Birthday Derrick Henry

Happy Birthday Derrick Henry!

Born: July 17, 1994

Birthplace: Yulee, FL

At the age of 23 this young man has accomplished some amazing things. In 2015 he won the Heisman Trophy, in 2016 was a member of the NCAA National Champions the Alabama Crimson Tide and later that year he was drafted by the Tennessee Titans. But not only is he a winner at football, he seems to have life pretty well figured out. In an interview with the Christian Post n 2015 he said this "First off, I just want to thank God for bringing me here and winning the prestigious award,". "He's been so good to me in my life and I have been honored and blessed with this opportunity. Since I was a kid, it has been my lifelong goal and a dream of mine. I am just so thankful."

He continued to confirm his faith at his Heisman trophy acceptance speech when he said: "I just want to talk to the kids who are watching this TV and listening to me today. I just want to give you all advice. I am hoping that I am somebody you can idolize yourself behind and look up to because God is everything and always keep God first," Henry urged. "Always pray; don't be afraid to pray. He always hears you cry. If you have dreams, chase them. If you believe it, you can achieve it and God will be there every step of the way. I am a living testament, man."

Derrick Have a Happy Birthday!!!

"So, keep God first, always pray and always chase your dream." Derrick Henry
