Henry is used as a cautionary historical example of rushing leader regression. He led the NFL in rushing yards in both 2019 and 2020, but in 2021 suffered an injury and experienced a clear step back in production. The source cites Henry as evidence that the recent history of leading rushers the following year is "not that great," and uses his decline to support concerns about current rushing leaders like James Cook potentially regressing.

At 32 years old entering his 11th season, Henry is defying typical running back age curves. Over the past two seasons since joining the Ravens at age 30, he has rushed for 3,516 yards, averaged 5.6 yards per carry, and scored 32 touchdowns. Henry stated he has no thoughts of retirement and is focused on getting better, with a Super Bowl ring as his primary goal. With 13,018 career rushing yards (10th all-time), another 1,500-yard season would move him into sixth place on the all-time rushing list, passing Eric Dickerson, Jerome Bettis, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Curtis Martin.

Henry's aging curve has not applied to his career; his Baltimore efficiency is a step forward from his final Tennessee years. He has missed just one game in four years (remarkable durability for a power runner), does not catch passes but remains the automatic goal-line back, and mobile QB Lamar Jackson has never been a big touchdown rusher. Even with a notable efficiency drop, Henry could have a mediocre season and still score 10+ TDs. He is a reasonable late-second-round call and an easy selection if he slips into the third.

Aging curves haven't applied to Henry his entire career, and his Baltimore efficiency has been a step forward from his final years in Tennessee. Henry has missed just one game in four years, remarkable durability for a power runner. He doesn't catch passes but is the automatic call at the goal line—and mobile QB Lamar Jackson has never been a big touchdown rusher. Even if Henry's efficiency drops notably, he could have a mediocre season and still fall into the end zone 10 or more times. He's a reasonable call in the late second round and occasionally slips into the third, where it's an easy selection.
