Kobe Bryant’s untimely passing is still shocking to many of us who used to watch him play. He was a transcendent NBA star who will forever live on in our hearts and memories. Over the past few months, numerous athletes and fans have gone to great lengths to pay homage to the legend. Recently, NFL running back Derrick Henry decided to get a tribute of his own, in the form of a diamond chain, according to TMZ.

The chain was made by ZoFrost and contains a total of 35 carats worth of diamonds. This chain is in the shape of Kobe’s Nike logo while a Black Mamba snake is wrapped around it. These aesthetics play into Kobe’s nickname of the same nomenclature. As you can see from the video below, the chain is shining bright and will certainly be a piece Henry wears frequently.

Henry reportedly paid $85K for the chain which is an amount he can definitely afford. Henry is up for a brand new contract although the Titans recently hit him with the franchise tag since they were worried about him signing somewhere else. It remains to be seen what kind of contract he will get although we’re sure it would afford him even more pieces of flashy jewelry.

Let us know in the comments below what you think of the chain.

Last season, the Tennessee Titans shocked the world as Ryan Tannehill led the football franchise all the way to the AFC Championship game against the eventual Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs. Now, the 31-year-old quarterback is being rewarded for his efforts signing a four-year contract with the Titans worth $118 million. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tannehill will receive $91 million in guarantees while $62 million of his contract is fully guaranteed payment. This contract has the Texas-bred quarterback raking in approximately $29.5 million per year.

After being drafted 8th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, by the Miami Dolphins and spending the first seven years of his NFL career in Florida, he was abruptly traded to the Tennesse Titans in March 2019 for multiple draft picks. Fortunately for Tannehill, the Titans had developed a solid offensive line and provided him with running support in the form of the monstrous 6'3, 238lb running back, Derrick Henry. With all of these tools in place Ryan Tannehill was able to top the league in quarterback passer rating (117.5), earn the Comeback Player of the Year Award, and earn his first Pro Bowl nomination. 

Derrick Henry had one of the best individual running back performances in recent memory. The Tennessee Titans star tore up the New England Patriots defense last Saturday and helped propel his team to a huge 20-13 upset victory. Henry’s performance was great but he couldn’t have pulled it off without a stout offensive line. Henry is well-aware of that fact and made sure to provide his O-line with some gifts ahead of their Divisional Round match against the Baltimore Ravens.

According to TMZ, Henry hooked up the entire offensive line with expensive Rolex’s. This isn’t the first time a high-profile player has done something similar for his offensive line. After breaking the quarterback rushing record, Lamar Jackson gave his whole O-line some Rolex’s, as well.

Henry will have a huge test ahead of him as he takes on the Ravens. The Ravens are the league’s best team and are expected to make it all the way to the Super Bowl. The Titans have proven to be a formidable foe and if Henry can repeat his heroics from last weekend, the Titans will have a real chance at pulling off a second straight upset. 

With these Rolex’s in mind, we’re sure the offensive line will be extra motivated come Saturday night.
