Whenever you see Derrick Henry do things like that on an NFL field, just remember he once was on the same field as some high schoolers trying to tackle him at the same size.

Lamar Jackson. Derrick Henry. Justice Hill. The equation has worked so, so well tonight.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RavensFlock?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RavensFlock</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/FOXBaltimore?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FOXBaltimore</a>

Derrick Henry is what happens when perfect genetics meet perfect worth ethic. He has over 2000 carries. He should be beaten down and slow. But he's out sprinting defensive backs 7 years younger than him. Hall of Famer.

Sam Schwartzstein @schwartzsteins
I like that we all saw Derrick Henry high school highlight tape and said he was a unicorn, then saw him as a freshman in college and said he was a unicorn, and now at 30 years old he's still a unicorn

Kevin Oestreicher @koestreicher34
Ravens all-black uniform combo Derrick Henry might be the most unstoppable football player of all time

Nick Perkins @NickyPerkss
List of NFL players to hold the "longest run" record at two separate teams 1. Derrick Henry (End of list)

Henry had a bit of a slow start to the season with his new team, picking up just 46 rushing yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs before recording 84 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 2.

After collecting 350 rushing yards and four total touchdowns across his last two games, it's safe to say he's found his groove.
