Derrick Henry’s Secret Fitness Routine Leaks Online – You Won’t Believe How Much He Spends To Keep His Body In Peak Shape

Derrick Henry’s imposing frame, longevity and consistency have set him apart from every other running back of this generation.

It’s hard for an NFL running back to play at an elite level for more than five years these days. The likes of Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley, Devonta Freeman and Le’Veon Bell all went from superstar to out of the league by the time they were in their 30s.

The good news for today’s running backs? Derrick Henry has provided a nice blueprint to enjoying long-term success like he has.

In a 2024 feature for The Athletic, Dan Pompei reported that Henry spends around $240,000 annually on his body maintenance. That includes a personal chef who makes each of King Henry’s meals.

Pompei noted that Henry doesn’t eat any gluten, dairy, fried food or artificial sugars. When it’s football season, the future Hall of Famer waits until 4 or 5 p.m. EST to have his first meal of the day.

“I probably eat three chicken breasts, some rice and broccoli,” Derrick Henry told Pompei at the time. “Then I have some gluten-free pancakes, scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, home fries and some steak.”
