Henry has yet to capture an illusive Super Bowl ring in his legendary career. He spent eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans before signing with the Ravens last offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_25ij8cep4\">Henry had an incredible first year with the Ravens in 2024 as he posted his second-highest rushing yards total of his career with 1,921 yards, finishing second in the league behind the Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; Saquon Barkley. We&#8217;ll see how he performs for the Ravens in 2025 as they&#8217;ll look to advance farther in the playoffs than the divisional round, something they haven&#8217;t done since their last Super Bowl title in 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The running back is excited for his second year in Baltimore.
