Thursday night’s Tennessee vs. Miami NFL preseason game reunited a pair of Alabama running backs from last season’s national championship team.
Titans RB Derrick Henry and Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake swapped jerseys after the game, as seen in the photos tweeted by Alabama’s official Twitter account:
Drake was making his preseason debut, having been sidelined in camp by a lingering hamstring injury. While he will likely start the season buried on the depth chart, on Thursday night Drake got to flash his pass-catching ability with a 33-yard reception. He also averaged 22.5 yards on two kickoff returns.
Henry will see the field frequently this season as the primary complement to Demarco Murray. The former Heisman winner had seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter of Thursday’s contest.
