The Baltimore Ravens added a spark to their offense when they brought former Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry to bolster their rushing attack. The veteran is regarded as one of the best at his position, and his size and speed make him a unique player.
Henry’s new teammates in Baltimore are already enjoying his presence and can’t wait to see him put on his pads. Inside linebacker Roquan Smith gave incredible praise to Henry, calling him “one of the best running backs of our generation”
“With [Derrick Henry] ‘D-Hen,’ it’s a lot more chill right now because it’s OTAs, minicamp; he doesn’t have on his pads, so this is not his strong suit. When he puts his pads on, that’s when he becomes that demon, but it’s great being able to line up across from that guy – one of the best [running] backs of our generation. I have mad respect for him and all the things he’s accomplished, and I still see he has a lot of tread left on the tire, so I’m just excited for him to show the world exactly what he can do. Lining up across from him is a lot different than lining up to go to war with him.”
The 30-year-old Henry will enter his ninth NFL season, with the first eight spent in Tennessee. Despite how powerful the Ravens’ rushing attack has been without him, Henry’s presence should increase Baltimore’s offensive output in multiple ways.
