Titans running back Derrick Henry joined legendary running back and fellow Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett as the only two men to have a 99-yard rushing touchdown in the NFL. Dorsett’s run took place 35 years prior to Henry’s against the Vikings on Monday Night Football.

Dorsett caught wind of the record tying run and took to Twitter to give him a shoutout on his impressive run.
Congrats to my @HeismanTrophy brother @KingHenry_2 on tying the 99 yard record tonight. That stiff arm! Rumble, young man, rumble!

What is more impressive? Henry’s run? The shoutout from Tony Dorsett? Or the fact that Dorsett has a Twitter account?
