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.

With the NFL draft fast approaching, we’re reviewing every move Baltimore made this off-season.

Broncos to sign former Ravens center Sam Mustipher to a 1-year deal

The Denver Broncos are signing former Baltimore Ravens backup center Sam Mustipher to a one-year deal

The Ravens are losing another free agent, as reserve center Sam Mustipher is signing a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos.

Undrafted out of Notre Dame in 2020, Mustipher saw action in nine games and started seven for the Bears that year. Then, he spent two seasons as the team’s full-time starter at center before landing in Baltimore for the 2023 season.

Mustipher becomes the 12th Ravens unrestricted free agent to sign elsewhere since the start of NFL free agency.

Baltimore now has running backs J.K. Dobbins and Dalvin Cook, linebacker Kyle Van Noy, and defensive backs Daryl Worley and Rock Ya-Sin.

2024 projected win totals for AFC North teams

We’re looking at a ranking of 2024 win total projections for all four AFC North teams

The Ravens (13-4) were the No. 1 seed in the AFC and had a first-round bye after navigating one of the NFL’s most demanding schedules.

With a first-place finish in 2023, the schedule will only get even more complicated, and after the late Sunday afternoon games, we have some unofficial idea of what the 2024 slate will look like.

Baltimore will play nine games on the road, eight at M&T Bank Stadium.

The schedule will be highlighted by matchups against their AFC North foes (Steelers, Bengals, Browns), the NFC East, AFC West, the AFC South champ, the NFC South champ, and the AFC East champion.

The league uses multiple factors to determine the year’s game schedule.

There’s a cycle of inter-conference faceoffs; each NFC division rotates through each AFC division every four seasons and the other NFC divisions every three seasons.

In addition, where a team finishes within their division dictates a same-finish matchup with one team from the opposite conference and whichever divisions aren’t in the rotation for that season.

Offering an early glimpse into where the Ravens could finish this season, we’re looking at total win projection for all four AFC North squads.

2024 Ravens mock draft roundup: Baltimore reloads at offensive tackle

We’re looking at the updated mock draft roundup for Baltimore as the Ravens rebuild the offensive line

With the first wave of NFL free agency over, all eyes around the league will turn toward pro days and one final month-long push toward April’s NFL draft.

Baltimore has needs, but after a solid start to the free agency process, the first-round pick (No. 30) could be about nagging the best player available or a potential building block in the trenches.

Mock draft season is in full swing, and most draft experts and pundits believe the Ravens are set for a rebuild in the trenches.

With the Top 30 visits increasing, we’re looking for updated options for Baltimore at pick No. 30.

Report: Jets are ‘highly motivated’ to sign edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney

The New York Jets have an intense interest in signing Ravens free agent pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, according to Jordan Schultz

The New York Jets have retooled their offensive line, and they’re now looking to add a premier pass rusher to an already stout defense.

Jadeveon Clowney just visited the AFC hopefuls, and the Jets are “highly motivated” to finalize a deal, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report.

A native of Rock Hill, South Carolina, Clowney starred in Columbia with the Gamecocks before becoming a consensus All-American and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.

With the Ravens in 2023, he ranked fifth in pass-rush win rate among edge rushers. He tied his career high of 9.5 sacks and had 50 quarterback hurries, 10 quarterback hits and 69 quarterback pressures.

He had career highs in pressure rate, pass-rush win rate and total pressures in a season.
