If the NFL gave out the MVP award after five games, legendary former NFL reporter Peter King would have Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry at the top of his ballot.
King made the case for Henry as the MVP during an appearance on the Let's Go! podcast with Jim Gray.
There's no doubt that Henry has been instrumental in Baltimore's three-game winning streak after an 0-2 start. He has racked up 479 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns on 69 touches.
Henry leads the NFL in rushing yards (572), rushing touchdowns (six), yards from scrimmage (621) and total touchdowns (seven).
