While at Alabama, Heisman Trophy-winning running back Derrick Henry was known for his toughness, durability, and power. He displayed something a little different on Saturday night, however, as he gracefully threw out the first pitch at the Alabama vs. Arkansas baseball game:

A little high, but if the umpire was from Tuscaloosa, he probably would’ve called it a strike.
Henry enjoyed his first offseason as an NFL running back after having a productive rookie year with the Tennessee Titans. He ran for just under 500 yards last year, checking in at an official 490 with five TDs.
No matter what happens in the future, however, Henry will always be the man at the University of Alabama.
Although Alabama baseball has struggled this year, Henry brought the team some luck, as it beat Arkansas 7-1 Saturday night.
