Derrick Henry came to the Baltimore Ravens with high expectations, but even the most optimistic fans probably didn’t expect him to\u00a0play as well as he did.<\/p>\n

Henry, 31, rushed for 1,921 yards and a league-high 16 touchdowns while averaging 5.9 yards per attempt, the best of his career. If not for a generational season by Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Henry may have taken home his second Offensive Player of the Year award.<\/p>\n

If there were somehow any doubts as to how special Henry’s season was, Pro Football Focus just put them to bed.<\/p>\n

According to PFF’s Mason Cameron, Henry’s 93.5 rushing grade was\u00a0the highest in the site’s 19-year history. His overall grade was even better at 94.2, the highest of any running back this season.<\/p>\n

“PFF\u2019s Best Runner from the 2024 Season was not just prolific in regards to this past season, he was historically great,” Cameron wrote. “Henry\u2019s 93.5 rushing grade this season was the highest ever recorded in the PFF era (since 2006). Despite some expecting a dropoff at age 30, Henry\u2019s motor is unceasing. The bruising back led all qualifying backs in yards per carry (6.0), first down rushes (105) and missed tackles forced on carries (88) \u2013 all of which land in the top eight in PFF history.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Even with his outstanding production, this was only Henry’s second-best season from a statistical standpoint. In 2020, he rushed for 2,027 yards and 17 yards with the Tennessee Titans to earn Offensive Player of the Year honors. Still, he was absolutely phenomenal in 2024, especially considering it was his first season with a new team.<\/p>\n

Henry signed a two-year contract last offseason, meaning he’s now entering the final year of said contract. However, the Ravens have been vocal about wanting to extend him, and he recently said\u00a0he wants to retire in Baltimore<\/a>, he should be around for the long haul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
