Derrick Henry signed with the Baltimore Ravens last season, starting all 17 games with Baltimore. He rushed for 1,921 yards and had 18 total touchdowns in his first season with the Ravens.

In his career, Henry is already a hall of fame, with 11,423 career rushing yards, ranking No. 19 all-time. If Henry can rush for 1,300 yards in 2025, he'll move into the top ten all-time in career rushing yards.

In 2020, Henry became the eighth player to ever rush for 2,000 yards in a single NFL season. He also rushed for 17 touchdowns in 2020.

Henry was the bell cow running back for Alabama's national championship run in 2015, rushing for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns with the Crimson Tide. In the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship against the Clemson Tigers, Henry rushed for 158 yards and three touchdowns to help Alabama secure its 16th national championship in football.
