Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson are already proving what theyâre capable of, with the running back scoring the first touchdown of the 2024 NFL season for the Baltimore Ravens against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens made many mistakes and it cost them penalties but they still managed to get on the scoreboard on their very first drive, with Jackson giving Henry the ball a lot.
The former Tennessee Titans star got five carries on that drive, just one less than the entire Ravensâ RB room had in the 2024 AFC Championship Game, where they lost 17-10 to the Chiefs.
Henryâs deal with Ravens to boost Jacksonâs offense
Derrick Henry joined the Baltimore Ravens on a two-year, $16 million deal worth up to $20 million on the second day of NFL free agency in 2024. Before that, he spent eight seasons with the Titans from 2016 to 2023.
The 30-year-old promises to make the Ravens even more powerful on the ground, adding to Jacksonâs speed to provide the quarterback option for the running game.
