One of the seemingly best moves of the 2024 NFL offseason was the Baltimore Ravens signing All-Pro running back Derrick Henry to a two-year deal worth $16 million.
Ravens head coach Jim Harbaugh chatted about the addition of King Henry on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
“The guy is really hard to stop…Hopefully we’re going to get him going. I think he’s going to be really good. I couldn’t have been happier…I’m glad we’re not tackling him this year, glad somebody else has to try and do that,” the Super Bowl-winning coach said.

Speaking of Super Bowls, it feels like the Ravens have been on the cusp of one for a while.
The addition of Henry will only further those hopes.
The former national champion is one of the best running backs of this era.
He is less than 500 yards away from 10,000 for his career, and he also has five career seasons with 1,000 rushing yards.
Bringing him to Baltimore was a slam-dunk move by GM Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh.
The combo of he and two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson should prove to be a true headache for opposing defenses.
Jackson himself has multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons in his career too, which is why defenses will struggle to stop Baltimore’s running attack.
They won’t exactly know who has the ball and when they do, it might be too late, especially if the four-time Pro-Bowler in Henry has the ball.
Stopping a 6-4, 250-pound running back in the open field will be a tough proposition for anybody.
