Derrick Henry is one of the best running backs in NFL history. And in his 11th season at 32 years old, the Baltimore Ravens ball carrier is still performing at an elite level. This coming weekend, Henry and the Ravens will face off against Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons in a primetime "Sunday Night Football" matchup.
When asked about Robinson's 2026 performance thus far, Henry didn't hesitate to identify him as the best running back in the league. "He's the best in the game right now. He's doing it all," Henry told reporters on Thursday.
"I ain't going to shy away from it. Hell of a back." Robinson and Henry both rank top five in rushing so far this season. Robinson ranks second with 494 yards, while Henry checks in at No. 4 with 374.
Robinson is far more involved in the pass game than Henry, reeling in 14 catches for 120 yards and one more score through the Falcons' first four games. Henry has the edge in rushing touchdowns, leading the entire NFL with seven. Sunday's Ravens-Falcons matchup will kick off at 8:20 p.m.
