NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee running back Derrick Henry is delighted that his Titans teammate Ryan Tannehill enjoys flying and earned his pilot’s license this summer.
Just don’t expect him to join his quarterback in a small plane anytime soon.
“Oh, no! I am not going up there,” the bruising ball carrier said with a laugh. “I pray for him though, pray that he’s safe. It’s been going well.”
Tannehill, 35, earned his pilot’s license for single-engine planes that fly only over land earlier this offseason. He said it offers up a nice break from his job, even if both require constant attention on the task at hand.
“It’s a little escape for me,” Tannehill said in June. “Something I have to be totally focused on and in the moment, be present in the moment. But at the same time, it’s an escape for me.”
