Derrick Henry Embraces New Chapter with Baltimore Ravens

How Faith and Determination Drive Derrick Henry's NFL Journey

September 14, 2024

Derrick Henry, one of the most dominant running backs in NFL history, is starting a new chapter with the Baltimore Ravens after spending eight successful seasons with the Tennessee Titans. In a candid conversation with *Faith on the Field* host Rob Maaddi, Henry shared his excitement about the transition to a new team and the challenges that lie ahead.

"It’s been fun," Henry said, embracing the change. "New chapter, new era for me. I can’t wait to get started." While adjusting to life in Baltimore, Henry acknowledges the high expectations surrounding the team. The Ravens, who made a deep playoff run last year, have "unfinished business" that Henry is eager to help complete.

Henry also spoke about the unique dynamic between him and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. With both stars on the field, defenses will have a hard time guessing who to stop. “It’s fun being alongside Lamar,” Henry said. "He’s a great leader and teammate."

Faith plays a pivotal role in Henry’s life, influencing not just his mindset but also his actions on the field. Since 2019, Henry has worn a cross on his face during games—a powerful reminder of his gratitude and reliance on God. "I’m big on prayer and giving God thanks for everything I have," he shared. Henry’s faith was deeply rooted by his grandmother, who instilled in him the importance of keeping God first in all circumstances.

Whether it's leading his team to victory or staying true to his beliefs, Derrick Henry continues to make an impact both on and off the field. As he embarks on this new journey with the Ravens, one thing remains clear—his faith and work ethic will guide him through every challenge.

In true *Faith on the Field* fashion, Rob Maaddi closed the interview by reminding listeners to "make a difference, be a blessing," echoing the life principles that Henry so clearly embodies.
