When Derrick Henry signed a contract with the team in March, social media was quickly flooded with photoshopped images of King Henry wearing a Ravens jersey.
Those photoshopped pictures can now be put away as we can finally see the real deal in the actual uniform.
It’s going to take some time for Tennessee Titans fans to normalize seeing Derrick Henry in a Baltimore Ravens uniform, and it started this week when a video surfaced of Henry walking out to the practice field wearing a purple Ravens jersey.
Here is how NFL fans reacted to seeing Derrick Henry in new threads:
On Monday, a video of Henry wearing the complete purple and black uniform as he headed into OTAs was shared on the Ravens’ social media account. Alongside linebacker Roquan Smith, the four-time Pro Bowler took the field.
Henry played for the Tennessee Titans during the first eight seasons of his NFL career, but this is the first time he has worn a different team’s uniform. Therefore, it makes sense that NFL fans found this development rather shocking.
Signing Henry in March will elevate the Ravens running game to new heights unseen in the Lamar Jackson era and likely the John Harbaugh tenure.

Even though Ray Lewis hasn’t played for the Ravens since 2012, he is still a valuable asset on the field. Before the veteran Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry inked a two-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens this summer, Lewis, who played his entire 17-year career in Baltimore, assisted in recruiting Henry.
In the March 26 episode of “The Pivot” podcast, co-host Channing Crowder asked Henry:
“Why was Baltimore the place? Because there were all the teams that wants you to run the football for them. Why did you choose Baltimore?”
Derrick Henry responded:
“…Then talking to Ray [Lewis] at the Pro Bowl, just like he’s passionate about the organization, his impact there, and you know, he talked about it, I was just like I’m not in Tennessee or I don’t get to go to Dallas. I love to be a Raven. And I’m glad to work out.”
The Ravens’ rushing offense became more terrifying with Henry in the lineup. With Gus Edwards, Keaton Mitchell, and Justice Hill, they already had the highest rushing yards per game (156.5) in the league the previous season. Of course, the quarterback, Lamar Jackson, can also play running back due to his mobility.
Henry takes Edwards’ place this season; Edwards is currently with the Los Angeles Chargers.
