00:00 Derek Henry has signed with the Baltimore Ravens after all eight years

00:07 of his National Football League career in Tennessee. A two-year, 16 million

00:13 dollar deal, nine mil guaranteed, could be worth up to 20 million dollars as

00:18 Derek Henry is now a Baltimore Raven. It just feels fitting Donnie that Derek

00:24 Henry in the black Baltimore jerseys alongside Lamar Jackson could create one

00:28 of the most most lethal backfields in all of the NFL. Yeah I think he's got

00:34 some tread left on the tire. Typically you see a running back that has played

00:37 and had that many touches over his career is on the back end of it. Now

00:40 technically he still is but the Baltimore Ravens as we know they don't

00:43 like to just say all right we got one running back here Ben we're gonna run

00:46 him 28 times in this ballgame. They use have a plethora of running backs which

00:49 does include Lamar Jackson which is great so you can save Derek Henry

00:53 instead of him expecting to get 20 carries a game for the Tennessee Titans.

00:57 Imagine Derek Henry at 12 or 13 carries per game and being ultimately explosive

01:01 and if you take a look at his career overall he's been very durable. Outside

01:05 of 2021 we only played eight games and by the way I had over ten and a half

01:09 touchdowns for Derek Henry as a ticket. He played set basically played seven

01:13 full games got hurt early in game number eight. He already had ten touchdowns and

01:17 I wasn't able to cash in that ticket but outside of that 15 games 16 games all

01:21 the way through and then last year playing in 17 games. It's also gonna be

01:24 nice to see he's got a real quarterback. No slander well maybe some slander to

01:28 Ryan Tannehill where you actually have the threat of when I step back to pass I

01:32 actually think this offense can pass which means those safeties are gonna

01:35 have to be respectable and play deep as opposed to playing on the line of

01:38 scrimmage so many times we saw in Tennessee. It just seems like the perfect

01:42 tip. We'll see if it works out but I love the move for the Ravens here.

01:47 (upbeat music)
