Derrick Henry aiming for 2K rushing yards, Adam Sandler movie role

Our Summary

Derrick Henry narrowly missed a 2,000-yard rushing season in 2024 with 1,921 yards during his first year with the Baltimore Ravens. He has a unique incentive to hit that milestone in 2025: a chance to appear in an Adam Sandler movie, as promised by Dan Patrick. If successful, Henry would be the first player to achieve 2,000 rushing yards twice in his career. While he's shown the potential to dominate on the field, staying healthy will be crucial. Previously, in 2020, he reached 2,027 yards but then faced injuries that limited his play in subsequent seasons. In 2024, he carried the ball 325 times, the second-most in the NFL.
