Derrick Henry joined the Ravens on a two year and made an already dangerous offense nearly impossible to stop. Henry battled Saquon Barkley for the rushing title, and he’s been rewarded as a finalist for the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year award.
Barkley, Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Henry, and teammate Lamar Jackson are finalists for the award.
During the red carpet for Thursday’s awards ceremony, Henry told Dianna Russini of The Athletic that he “wanted to retire as a Raven.”

Henry, the 2020 Offensive Player of the Year, was the second most impressive free agent signing last spring; Henry had the second-most rushing yards in the NFL (1,783), only trailing Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley (2,005). Both players averaged 5.8 yards per carry this season.
Henry’s 14 rushing touchdowns were tied for the second-most in the league, only behind the Bills James Cook (15).
