Derrick Henry admitted Tom Brady is the GOAT, but he doesn’t want him to come to Tennessee.

The Titans star running back said he believes Ryan Tannehill, who helped lead the team to the AFC title game last season, can take them to the Super Bowl. Tannehill and Henry also led the Titans to a 20-13 victory over Brady and the New England Patriots in the wild-card round.

“I would think: Why isn’t Ryan Tannehill good enough?” Henry said on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast when asked about his reaction if the Titans looked into Brady.

“He still can play,” Henry said of the 42-year-old Brady. “Obviously, age doesn’t matter for him, he’s still playing at a high level, but my question would be: Why ain’t Ryan good enough, you know?

Henry, who led the NFL with 1,540 rushing yards last season, did reiterate his Tannehill support wasn’t meant to be a knock at the six-time Super Bowl champion quarterback.

“Tom Brady is the GOAT,” Henry said. “That is no question. At all. The best of all time. But then, at the same time, I mean, Ryan Tannehill is our quarterback, went to the AFC Championship. Why would we not want Ryan back? Just wanted to clear that up, Tom Brady is the GOAT.”

The 31-year-old Tannehill, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent this March, had a career rebirth in Tennessee last season, throwing for 2,742 yards and completing 70.3 percent of his passes. He also threw 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

Henry, 26, is hitting free agency this offseason, which also could affect the route the Titans take regarding their quarterback decision.
