Especially after the front office brought in\u00a0Derrick Henry, who recently signed a two-year, $30 million contract extension. However, Henry dropped a bold claim about his speed when discussing teammate\u00a0Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>During a guest appearance on \u201cThe Dan Patrick Show,\u201d the 31-year-old running back claimed that\u00a0he is faster\u00a0than Jackson. Henry admitted that his 40-time is slow, however, he thinks his football speed is much faster. Overall, Derrick Henry believes he&#8217;s faster in games than he is in training.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick asked the five-time Pro Bowler if he were to race Lamar Jackson, who he thinks would win. Henry quickly responded with \u201cOh, I like me.\u201d But when Patrick brought up the 40-time, Henry didn&#8217;t shy away from the fact that Jackson has a faster non-official time. Regardless, the Ravens&#8217; running back likes his chances in a race when the football is in his hands.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cSome people say you have like testing speed, and then some people have football speed, and I definitely feel like that&#8217;s the case for me.
