Derrick Henry looks back on his time with the Alabama football team with fondness, as he reflects on his experience nearly a decade later.
During the 2024 offseason, the Baltimore Ravens acquired former Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, who signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the team. Henry, who had an outstanding career with the Titans, is also remembered as one of the greatest running backs in Alabama football history. Reflecting on his college days, he expressed deep gratitude for his time at Alabama.
While watching highlights of his Crimson Tide days on the SEC Network, Henry shared a heartfelt sentiment:
“All the work. Blood, sweat, and tears paid off, and to have discipline, my dreams came true. I’m forever indebted to the University of Alabama, for sure,” Henry said.
Henry began his Alabama career in 2013, laying the groundwork for a stellar future. After rushing for 382 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman, he broke out in 2014 with 990 yards and 11 touchdowns, setting the stage for an even more remarkable finish.
In his final year at Alabama in 2015, Henry rushed for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns, earning the Heisman Trophy, All-American honors, and the title of SEC Offensive Player of the Year.
Nearly a decade later, Henry is poised to elevate the Ravens to new heights.
Henry was favored to sign with Baltimore during the 2024 offseason, a prediction that came true as he departed from the Titans. As previously noted by ClutchPoints, Henry had one of the most dominant rushing seasons in NFL history in 2020, accumulating 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns with Tennessee.
In 2024, Henry remains one of the NFL’s top rushers, coming off a season where he ranked second in rushing yards (1,167) and tied for seventh in touchdowns (12).
Now, Henry forms a dynamic duo with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson. With these two offensive stars at the helm, the Ravens’ potential for the 2024-25 season is limitless.
