Ravens running back Derrick Henry is a future Hall of Famer. He’s a modern-day Jim Brown.
Still, Henry has developed a fumbling problem. He has lost one fumble in each of Baltimore’s first three games. Two contributed directly to the team’s two losses.
And consider this fact : In 2023 and 2024, Henry had three fumbles in 652 touches (0.46 percent). This year, he has three in 43 (6.9 percent).
The situation will prompt more teams to attack the ball, whenever Henry has it. As Devin McCourty explained on Tuesday’s PFT Live , Henry’s elbow was too low last night. It made it easier for Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson to strike from behind, punching the ball out. Henry, as McCourty sees it, needs to pull the ball higher and tighter when defenders are close enough to try to punch it
