Derrick Henry on participating in offseason workouts: “I wanted to show I’m committed”

Derrick Henry on Offseason workouts: “I wanted to make sure that I show my teammates, and this organization, that I’m here, I’m committed.”

Derrick Henry could have easily skipped the Ravens’ voluntary portion of the off-season workout program, and nobody at the Under Armour Performance Center would have shared any concerns.

Henry is one of the best-conditioned athletes on the planet.

During the offseason, he trains alongside Dr. Ashley Reichert, PT, DPT, at SandersFit in Dallas, Texas.

During his Wednesday media session, Henry was asked about reporting for off-season workouts and why it was so important.

Henry, 30, departs Tennessee after eight seasons and arrives in Baltimore as the perfect fit, complementing the game-breaking speed and elusiveness of quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Henry was a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time rushing champion with the Tennessee Titans from 2016 to 2023.

He’ll now look to get the Ravens over the Super Bowl hump.

Derrick Henry on Lamar Jackson: You can tell he’s a great leader

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry says he can tell Lamar Jackson is a great leader and players flock to him

Derrick Henry is officially a Raven after signing a two-year deal and reporting to the Under Armour Performance Center for the start of offseason workouts.

The Ravens are in Phase One of the program, and Henry has watched Jackson interact with teammates. He clearly understands why the two MVPs are so highly thought of in Baltimore.

Jackson returned to Baltimore about twenty pounds lighter, and he looked refreshed after entering the offseason without contract squabbles.

Baltimore led the NFL in rushing last season, and Henry has led the league in rushing yards (9,502) since he was drafted and entered the league in 2016.

Every move the Ravens have made so far this offseason

With the 2024 NFL Draft fast approaching, we’re looking at every move the Baltimore Ravens have made this off-season

The Ravens will look drastically different on both sides of the football field after undergoing massive changes in player personnel and the coaching staff.

Baltimore signed Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension. After inking Madubuike to a deal, Baltimore landed Derrick Henry for two years and $16 million.

However, the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses. 

Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere. Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move.
