To establish his place in the future, Travis Henry is busy chasing his past. Five years later, the Buffalo Bills running back's motivation remains getting out from Jamal Lewis' shadow.
"I guess it's a running back thing, this competing," Henry said. "Really, I'm always going to be trying to compete against him. That's something that we will always have."
It began in 1997 when, as a highly touted recruit, Henry arrived at Tennessee only to find his hopes to be the starter placed on hold by Lewis.
And it remains that way today, with Henry entering his second year in Buffalo, and Lewis into his third season with Baltimore.
