In a thrilling turn of events that has electrified the National Football League (NFL) community, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh announced today that Derrick Henry, the powerhouse running back recently acquired by the team, will take on a key leadership role in the 2025 season.
During a press conference held at the Ravens’ training facility, Harbaugh revealed that Henry will not only serve as the team’s starting running back, but also be named the offensive team captain, a rare honor for a newly acquired player.
> “Derrick’s impact on the field is undeniable, but what’s even more impressive is the leadership he’s brought to the locker room in such a short time,” Harbaugh stated. “He’s going to be the heart of our offense this season — physically and mentally.”
The announcement has set social media ablaze, with fans and analysts praising the decision. Henry, known for his bruising running style and relentless drive, brings a new level of physicality and veteran presence to an already dynamic Ravens offense led by quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Henry responded to the news with characteristic humility and focus:
> “I’m here to work, to win, and to lift up the guys around me. Baltimore believed in me, and I’m going to give this city everything I’ve got,” said Henry.
After several seasons of standout performances with the Tennessee Titans, Henry’s move to Baltimore was already one of the biggest offseason storylines. Now, with this new role, expectations for the Ravens’ 2025 season have skyrocketed.
Ravens fans are already dreaming of postseason glory, and with Derrick Henry leading the charge, those dreams just becam
e a lot more real.
