Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry\u00a0has accomplished almost everything an NFL player could hope realistically for. He has five Pro Bowl selections, an Offensive Player of the Year Award, and ranks in the top 20 all-time in rushing yards and top 10 in rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n

“Almost” is the key word there, however.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Through nine seasons, Henry still has yet to win a Super Bowl, or even appear in the big game. He’s come close a couple of times, most notably reaching the AFC Championship Game with the Tennessee Titans in 2019, but is still searching for his first Super Bowl appearance.<\/p>\n

Heading into 2025, Henry’s motivation is unsurprisingly all about making it to the big game.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest with you, I mean, last year I kind of felt that a lot,\u201d\u00a0Henry said\u00a0during an appearance on\u00a0The Rich Eisen Show. \u201cI just wanted to prove that I can still dominate this league and be a great player coming here and helping them and doing my job effectively.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cBut I feel like now the chip [on his shoulder], it\u2019s not just that. I think it\u2019s like for us as a team because I feel like we have everything we need to win a Super Bowl, win a championship. And I feel like the whole team should have that chip on their shoulder for us to go out there and prove that, so I don\u2019t really try to think of it as much as me having a chip on my shoulder. But I just like to think, like: What are my other teammates thinking, how\u2019re they approaching it, how do they feel?\u00a0And we should all feel the same way, having that chip up, wanting to get what we want and working hard every day to make each other better to get that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Henry has been pretty productive throughout his playoff career, rushing for 1,002 yards and seven touchdowns in nine games. If the Ravens are going to win a Super Bowl this year, he’ll undoubtedly play a huge part in their victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would mean everything because that\u2019s what I want,\u201d Henry said. \u201cThat\u2019s all I need, man. I got to get there. I got to get to the mountaintop. Pray to God, I get there before it\u2019s all said and done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
