Ravens running back Derrick Henry is unquestionably one of the greatest players to ever set foot on a football field. One of the games all-time greats showcased why on Sunday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, as he turned on the burners in the open field and absolutely cooked the entire Buffalo Bills defense.

Check it out as Henry turns on the jets and races 87-yards to paydirt, making it the longest run from scrimmage in Baltimore franchise history. It was on their first play of the game. It’s just yet another amazing record for one of the best backs the game has ever seen.

Simply put, Henry is one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game. He’s dominated at every level he’s played on. Fun fact: he is the only running back in the history of the game to run for over 2,000 yards in a season in high school (all four years of high school), college (2,219 yards), and the NFL (2,027 yards).

The legendary tailback decided to watch his high school highlight tape from his days at Yulee High School (Yulee, Florida). It’s one of the best highlight tapes you’ll ever see of any player on any level. Henry established himself as one of the greatest running backs in high school football history. He pounded and pummeled his way through defenders to the tune of 12,124 rushing yards–setting the national high school career rushing yards record. The record Henry broke, Ken Hall’s 11,232 rushing yards for Sugar Land High School (Texas) in the early 1950s, stood for 51 years.

Not only was the rushing yardage incredible, but the sheer volume of touches his body could withstand was absolutely insane.
