Signing a 30-year-old running back with plenty of wear and tear from years of mixing it in the NFL looked like a risk for the Baltimore Ravens, but they needn’t be worried about Derrick Henry slowing down, according to Tom Brady.
Speaking to FOX Sports NFL after watching Henry rush for 162 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16, seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady said, “This dude doesn’t look like he’s even slowing down. We show all those stats about how electric Derrick Henry is, he looks like he’s got another 5 years in him.”
The Ravens would gladly sign on now for another five years of Henry. Such has been the dominance of the two-time league rushing champion.
Henry’s performances have taken an offense led by two-time NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson up another level. Their prolific combination put the Steelers to the sword during a 34-17 win on Saturday, December 21.
The victory at M&T Bank Stadium gave the Ravens a chance to seize control of the AFC North from their bitter rivals. It also showed this year’s team could be unstoppable once the playoffs begin.
