Titans' DeMarco Murray: Still go-to guy despite Derrick Henry pick
Murray will still be the primary piece of Tennessee's 2016 rushing attack, despite the second-round selection of Heisman-winning running back Derrick Henry in the NFL Draft, the team's official site reports.
Analysis:
Murray was assured by head coach Mike Mularkey in the wake of the pick that he will still be the workhorse running back, and it's tough not to believe him, considering the Titans just traded for the 28-year-old and his $6 million salary this offseason. Henry put up gaudy rushing totals playing behind an overpowering Alabama offensive line last season, but it looks like he'll have to settle for a secondary role as a rookie unless Murray slips up.
