Former Alabama RB Derrick Henry is a busy man preparing for the upcoming NFL Draft.
But he’s still making time for all of the accolades he accumulated during a historic 2015 season, which helped propel Alabama to a national championship.
The Heisman Trophy winner was in Atlantic City on Thursday to be honored at the Maxwell Football Club’s awards banquet.
Henry won the 2015 Maxwell Award, which is given to the best player in college football each season.
He took some time to pose with a Bo Jackson jersey, because greatness respects greatness even if they are on the opposite side of the Iron Bowl rivalry:
