He signed a two-year, $16 million deal that worth up to $20 million.
Henry, a University of Alabama alumnus, sees the potential to win a Super Bowl with Lamar Jackson and former Alabama standout, Marlon Humphrey. He won the 2015 Heisman Memorial Trophy for the Crimson Tide along with a host of other individual accolades. Henry was a two-time Southeastern Conference Champion (2014-15) and a College Football Playoff National Champion in 2015. He proved to be one of the greatest running backs in Houston Oilers/Titans history and NFL history.
A two-time NFL rushing champion and 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Henry made four Pro Bowls and won first-team All-Pro honors in 2020. The 6-foot-3, 247-pounder took the field Monday for his first session of organized team activities (OTAs) for the Ravens. Baltimore believes Henry is the missing piece to get the Ravens over teams such as Kansas City for a Super Bowl.
