Tennessee Titans, Henry put up 1,167 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns at an average of 4.2 yards per carry, and with him turning 30 years old, it was thought that he might be nearing the end of his viability.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, NFL running backs hit a wall in terms of productivity around age 30, but Henry pushed back big time with one of the better seasons any running back has ever had.<\/p>\n<p>In doing so, he took lots of pressure off of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and made the team one of the favorites to reach the Super Bowl, and it should remain an elite team going into the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Henry has one year remaining on the contract he signed last offseason, and the Ravens reportedly are looking into the possibility of signing him to an extension sometime soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Photo by Al Bello\/Getty Images) Although his new team \u2014 the Baltimore Ravens \u2014 suffered a heartbreaking loss in
