Derrick Henry opened the season looking like the same old King Henry. 👑⁣ ⁣ At 32 years old, Baltimore Ravens star RB Derrick Henry's unprecedented longevity can be traced back to a few key differentiators. 💪⁣ ⁣ First, he's absolutely massive: At six-foot-three and around 250 pounds, this King's bigger and stronger than most linebackers and defensive backs attempting to contain him. 🏈⁣ ⁣ His running style also lends itself to long-term success: He's more upright than most RBs, minimizes the hard contact he takes, and leans on his size and speed (not lateral cuts that can be hard on joints) to evade would-be tacklers. Smart, savvy, and so unbelievably good. 😮‍💨⁣ ⁣ We break down the top gridiron stories every Tuesday during the NFL season in our new Weekly Blitz newsletter.
