The Henry Effect: How Mark Ingram's Decision to Join the Ravens Empowered Derrick Henry
Breaking the Titans' RB Mold
Derrick Henry has always been a bit of an anomaly in the NFL. At 6'3", 247 pounds, he's a bruising running back in an era where smaller, more agile backs are the norm. But Henry has made a career out of defying expectations, and he's now one of the most feared runners in the league.
Henry's success is due in part to his unique skillset. He's not just a big back who can run over defenders; he's also surprisingly fast and agile. This makes him a difficult matchup for defenses, as they can't simply stack the box to stop him. Henry can beat them with power or speed, and he's always a threat to take it to the house.
Henry's success has also been aided by the Titans' offensive line, which is one of the best in the NFL. But even with a great line in front of him, Henry has had to work hard to get to where he is today. He's put in countless hours in the weight room and on the practice field, and he's always looking for ways to improve.
The Ingram Impact
Mark Ingram is another talented running back who has had a successful career. He's a three-time Pro Bowler and was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2019. Ingram is known for his versatility, as he can run, catch, and block.
In free agency this year, Ingram signed with the Baltimore Ravens. This was a surprising move for many, as Ingram is still a productive player and the Ravens already have a talented running back in J.K. Dobbins.
However, the Ravens' decision to sign Ingram has had a positive impact on Henry. Ingram's presence has taken some of the pressure off of Henry, and it's allowed him to focus on his own game. Henry has also been able to learn from Ingram, who is a veteran leader in the locker room.
The Future is Bright
With Ingram now in Baltimore, the future is bright for Henry and the Titans. Henry is still in his prime, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. With Ingram's help, Henry can continue to be one of the most productive running backs in the NFL.
The Titans are also looking to make a deep playoff run this year. With Henry leading the way, they have a good chance of making a run at the Super Bowl.
