The Ravens' addition of Derrick Henry was met with much fanfare this offseason. How could a backfield of the hulking running back and Lamar Jackson be anything but cool? Given that hype, a 13-carry, 46-yard debut in the season opener was met with great disappointment, even if he did find the end zone. For all the excitement, it looked like Henry didn’t quite fit or, certainly, wasn’t the unique advantage he was billed to be for the already productive Ravens run game.
Something I started pointing out after that game was that Henry and Jackson had two very different styles as runners.
