Derrick Lamar Henry Jr.[1][2] (born January 4, 1994)[1] is an American football running back for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). Nicknamed "King Henry",[3][4] he is known for his imposing style of play and larger build than the average running back.

Born and raised in Yulee, Florida, Henry set the national high school football record for career rushing yards with the Yulee Hornets. He played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide, where during his junior season, Henry broke Herschel Walker's single-season college rushing yards record in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), won the 2015 Heisman Trophy, the Doak Walker Award, the Maxwell Award, and the Walter Camp Award, and was a key part of the 2015 Alabama Crimson Tide football team that won the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship.

Henry was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft, where he was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. A backup for most of his first two seasons in the league, Henry emerged as the Titans' feature back near the end of the 2018 season. He led the NFL in rushing yards for the 2019 season, as well as rushing touchdowns (tied with Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones). In 2020, Henry again led the league in rushing yards and touchdowns and became the eighth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season, and the second Tennessee Titan to do so, after Chris Johnson achieved it in 2009. Henry won the 2020 Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award. After missing more than half of the 2021 season to injury, he made his third and fourth Pro Bowl appearances in the subsequent two seasons. After eight seasons in Tennessee, Henry signed with the Ravens in 2024.

Early life[edit]

Derrick Lamar Henry Jr. was born in Yulee, Florida, a suburb of Jacksonville, to Stacy Veal and Derrick Henry Sr., aged 15 and 16 respectively.[5] Henry's father was absent for much of his childhood, having been arrested 20 times for various crimes including drug and prostitution-related offenses, and was consequently in and out of prison and had trouble maintaining employment. His mother became a hemodialysis technician. Henry was raised primarily by his grandmother, Gladys, who nicknamed him "Shocka", as his birth shocked the whole family, given his parents' young ages. Henry developed a close relationship to his grandmother, whom Henry cites as very influential in his upbringing.[6][7]

Henry attended Yulee High School, where he was a three-sport star in football, basketball, and track. Henry played as a running back for the Yulee Hornets football team.[8] He ran for 2,465 yards and 26 touchdowns as a freshman in 2009. Henry was named a first-team All-Coast selection at running back in 2010 after rushing for 2,788 yards and 38 touchdowns while averaging 8.9 yards per attempt. He rushed for 2,610 yards and 34 scores as a junior in 2011 to earn first-team All-Coast honors from the Florida Times-Union. Henry set the Florida high school record with a 510-yard performance against Jacksonville Jackson (a record he held until 2021[9]) and averaged 9.2 yards per carry and 327.8 yards per game as a senior, finishing the season with a state-record 4,261 yards and 55 touchdowns.[10] He finished his high school football career with 12,124 career rushing yards, which broke Ken Hall's career record.[11][12] During this time, Henry began receiving the nickname "King Henry" by stadium crowds and local television news reports as he began aiming to break the national high school rushing title.[13] He also rushed for 153 career touchdowns, which rank fifth all-time. In four years at Yulee, Henry averaged more than 250 yards a game and never rushed for less than 100 yards in a game.[14] He played for the East squad in the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, where Henry rushed for 53 yards with a touchdown and a two-point conversion.[15][16]

As a track & field athlete, Henry competed as a sprinter at Yulee from 2010 to 2011. He posted a personal-best time of 11.11 seconds in the 100-meter dash at the 2011 FHSAA 2A District 3 Championships, where Henry placed seventh.[17] He was also a member of the 4×100 and 4×400 squads.[18]

Considered a five-star recruit by ESPN.com, Henry was listed as the No. 1 athlete (player with no designated position) in the nation in 2013.[19] After originally committing to the University of Georgia, Henry committed to the University of Alabama on September 28, 2012.[20] He held offers from many of the top college football programs in the country, including USC, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Florida, and Clemson.[21] Henry's number was eventually retired by Yulee.[22]

Professional career[edit]

Pre-draft[edit]

Coming out of Alabama, Henry was projected by the majority of analysts to be either drafted in the late first or second round. Scouts regarded his main assets to be his large frame, violent running, ability to break tackles with ease, speed, long strides, superior conditioning, and consistent play. The main concerns were about the wear and tear Henry’s body took as a workhorse at Alabama, his slow acceleration, average foot quickness, below-average catching ability, narrow based running style, sluggish cutbacks, and running tall.[67]

Henry was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the second round (45th overall) of the 2016 NFL draft.[70] He was the second running back taken that year, after #4 Ezekiel Elliott.[71] Henry was reunited with his former fullback at Alabama Jalston Fowler.[72] On May 9, 2016, the Titans signed Henry to a four-year, $5.40 million contract with $3.30 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $2.13 million.[73]

Henry began his rookie season as the backup running back to veteran DeMarco Murray. Henry wore the No. 2 jersey throughout training camp and preseason and donned the No. 22 once running back Dexter McCluster was cut on September 2, 2016.[74]

Henry made his NFL debut and earned his first NFL start in the season-opening 25–16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with five carries for three yards and two receptions for 41 yards.[75] During a Week 8 36–22 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Henry scored his first NFL touchdown on a six-yard rush and finished the game with 16 carries for a then career-high 60 rushing yards and the aforementioned touchdown to go along with four receptions for 37 yards.[76] During a Week 12 27–21 road victory over the Chicago Bears, Henry had eight carries for 60 yards and a touchdown.[77] Three weeks later against the Kansas City Chiefs, he finished with nine carries for 58 yards and a season-high two touchdowns in the narrow 19–17 road victory.[78] During the regular season finale against the Houston Texans, he ran for a then-career-high 65 rushing yards on 15 carries and scored a touchdown in the 24–17 victory.[79]

Henry finished his rookie season with 110 carries for 490 yards (both sixth among NFL rookies in 2016) and five touchdowns to go along with 13 receptions for 137 yards in 15 games and two starts.[80][81]

For most of the 2017 season, Henry split carries with DeMarco Murray and run-oriented quarterback Marcus Mariota. During a Week 2 37–16 road victory over the Jaguars, Henry had 14 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown.[82] During a Week 6 36–22 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football, Henry recorded 19 carries for a then career-best 131 yards and a 72-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter while also recording a 14-yard reception.[83] Three weeks later against the Baltimore Ravens, he had eight carries for 26 yards and a touchdown in the 23–20 victory. During a Week 13 24–13 victory over the Texans, Henry had 11 carries for 109 yards and a 75-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter, beat his longest rush of the year.[84] In the regular season finale against the Jaguars, Henry had 51 rushing yards and his first receiving touchdown on a 66-yard reception from Marcus Mariota during the 15–10 victory.[85]

Henry finished his second professional season with 176 carries for 744 yards and five touchdowns to go along with 11 receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown.[86] The Titans finished second in the AFC South with a 9–7 record and made the playoffs as a Wild Card team.[87] In the Wild Card Round, the Titans played the Chiefs. Because DeMarco Murray was out with a knee injury, Henry got the start.[88] During the narrow 22–21 comeback road victory, Henry had the best performance of his career up to that point, recording 23 carries for 156 yards and a touchdown to go along with two receptions for 35 yards.[89] His 191 scrimmage yards was a franchise record. In the Divisional Round against the New England Patriots, Henry had 28 rushing yards and 21 receiving yards during the 35–14 road loss.[90]

Henry in 2018

During the 2018 offseason, Matt LaFleur was hired as the Titans' new offensive coordinator and the team also acquired running back Dion Lewis.[91] Lewis' pass-catching ability was seen as a fit for LaFleur's offensive scheme, which often employed running backs to catch passes out of the backfield, and leading to success with Todd Gurley in the previous season as offensive coordinator with the Rams.[92] This led to speculation that LaFleur would favor Lewis over Henry.[93]

Henry ended up splitting carries with Lewis and run-oriented quarterback Marcus Mariota for most of the 2018 season. During a Week 2 20–17 victory over the Texans, Henry recorded an eight-yard pass completion, the first of his career, to wide receiver Taywan Taylor.[94] Henry also had 18 carries in that game and the next against the Jaguars, but was used much less frequently through the middle of the season.

From Weeks 4–13, Henry averaged nine carries for only 37 yards per game, and never rushed for over 60 yards.[81] This all changed in Week 14 against the Jaguars. In the second quarter, Henry had a 99-yard touchdown run, fending off three tacklers, tying him with Tony Dorsett for the longest NFL touchdown run. Henry finished the 30–9 victory with 17 carries for 238 yards and four touchdowns, breaking Chris Johnson's franchise record of 228 yards in 2009.[95][96] Henry also became the ninth player in NFL history to record a 200+ yard and 4+ touchdown game, and the first to do so on fewer than 22 carries.[97] His 238 rushing yards were the most by any player for a single game for the 2018 season.[98] Henry was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week due to his spectacular performance against the Jaguars.[99] The following week, the Titans went on the road to face the New York Giants. In a cold and rainy game, Henry led the NFL in rushing for the second consecutive week with 170 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 33 carries, along with a one-yard reception and six-yard pass completion in the 17–0 shutout victory.[100] In Weeks 16 and 17, he combined for 177 rushing yards and a touchdown in the two games against the Washington Redskins and Colts.[101][102] He was later named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December.[103]

Henry finished the 2018 season with 1,059 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns along with 15 receptions for 99 yards.[104] After the season, he was ranked 99th on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2019.[105]

In that game, Henry rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns (one of them was a 74-yard rush in the third quarter) while also recording a 16-yard reception during the 42–20 victory.[115] In the next game, a rematch against the Colts, he had 26 carries for 149 yards and a touchdown during the 31–17 road victory.[116] The following week the Oakland Raiders, Henry rushed 18 times for 103 yards and two touchdowns in the 42–21 road victory.[117] During the regular-season finale against the Texans, Henry had 32 carries for 211 yards and three touchdowns as the Titans won on the road 35–14 and made it to the playoffs as a Wild Card team. During the game, Henry narrowly won the 2019 rushing title over Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns, with the winning rush being a 53-yard touchdown run.[118] This was Henry's first career rushing crown and the first Titan to win it since Chris Johnson in 2009.[119] Henry was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week due to his spectacular performance against the Texans.[120]

Henry finished the regular season setting career-highs in carries with 303, rushing yards with 1,540, and rushing touchdowns with 16, which all led the league, despite only playing in 15 games, missing the Week 16 matchup against the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury.[121] He also set career-highs in receptions with 16, receiving yards with 206, and receiving touchdowns with two.[122] On December 17, 2019, Henry was selected to his first Pro Bowl.[123] On January 3, 2020, he was named to the second-team All-Pro at both the running back and flex position, both behind Christian McCaffrey.[124] Henry was ranked 10th by this fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2020.[125]

With the Titans finishing the season 9–7, the team narrowly clinched a wild card spot for the #6-seed. In the Wild Card Round against the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots, which was played on his 26th birthday, Henry rushed for over 100 yards and a touchdown in the first half, finishing with 34 carries for 182 yards (the most ever against a Bill Belichick-led team, and the third most ever in a postseason road game) and a 22-yard reception during the 20–13 road victory.[126] Henry became the first rushing champion with a 100-yard playoff game since Terrell Davis in 1998, the first to win a playoff game since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2007, and the second Titan with multiple post-season 100+ rushing games.[127] He also broke his own franchise record for most yards-from-scrimmage with 204.[128] During the Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens, Henry rushed 30 times for 195 yards and threw a three-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Corey Davis in the 28–12 road victory.[129] Henry became the second player in NFL history with three postseason games with at least 150 rushing yards, joining Terrell Davis, who had four. In addition, Henry became the only player with at least 175 rushing yards in consecutive games. Davis is the only other with two such games in a career.[130] In the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, Henry was mostly held in check as he rushed 19 times for 69 yards and a touchdown during the 35–24 road loss.[131]

See also: 2023 Tennessee Titans season

During the narrow season-opening 16–15 road loss to the Saints, Henry had 119 scrimmage yards.[188] In the next game against the Chargers, he had 95 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown during the 27–24 overtime victory.[189] Two weeks later against the Bengals, he had 133 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown to go along with a two-yard touchdown to Josh Whyle in the 29–3 victory.[190] In Weeks 12–14, Henry had two rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games.[191][192][193] During a Week 15 19–16 overtime loss to the Texans, he made NFL history as the first player to have at least 20 touches and generate less than 15 yards from scrimmage.[194] In the next game against the Seahawks, Henry had 99 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown while also throwing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Chigoziem Okonkwo during the 20–17 loss.[195] During the regular season finale against the Jaguars, in what would prove to be Henry’s final game as a Titan, he had 19 carries for 153 yards and a touchdown as the Titans won 28–20.[196][197]

Baltimore Ravens[edit]

2024[edit]

See also: 2024 Baltimore Ravens season

On March 12, 2024, Henry signed with the Baltimore Ravens on a two-year, $16 million deal worth up to $20 million which also included $9 million fully guaranteed in the first year.[200]

Playing style[edit]

At 6'3" and 247 lbs, Henry is much larger than most running backs and has a frame comparable to that of a linebacker.[201] He is a "power back", using his large size and strength to overpower defenders and break tackles. In 2020, Henry accumulated 1,073 yards after contact, over 300 yards more than any running back in the league, and led the league in broken tackles with 34.[202] He couples that strength and size with surprising speed relative to his size.[203] Henry is adept at using the stiff-arm to repel defenders.[204] As a power back, his playing style contrasts with those of smaller, so-called "scat backs", who have greater elusiveness due to their faster ability to change directions. Henry is not usually used as a pass catcher, but he makes up for his lack of productiveness as a pass-catcher using his dominance as a pure runner.[202]

Observers have also noted that Henry has a tendency to get better, particularly in yards per carry, in the later stages of a game, as his strength and toughness wears down opponents.[205] Henry's successful running game has also permitted the offense success with play-action.[206]
