By <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-deandre-hopkins-signing-baltimore-super-bowl-loss-chiefs">signing with the Baltimore Ravens in free agency</a>, Hopkins allowed the trio he mocked up years ago to come to fruition.</p><p>Once Hopkins signed with the Ravens, fans immediately trudged up the old photo he posted with Jackson and Henry in 2020. In it, the veteran wideout asked fans how many touchdowns the hypothetical trio would account for. With the theoretical scenario now materialized, Hopkins was <a href="https://x.com/Ravens/status/1900582467150774562" rel="noopener">forced to address it</a> but gave an evasive answer to his own question.</p><p>“I did not think there was a possibility [we would ever play together],” Hopkins said in an interview posted to the team website. “The number [of touchdowns we score] is enough to win the amount of games we need to win. Hopefully, it’s more than a little bit.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/DeAndreHopkins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DeAndreHopkins</a> weighs in on his viral pic with <a href="https://twitter.com/Lj_era8?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Lj_era8</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/KingHenry_2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KingHenry_2</a> 😂 <a href="https://t.co/EBEnpqzh88">pic.twitter.com/EBEnpqzh88</a></p><p>— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/1900582467150774562?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Four years after the original photo, neither Hopkins nor Henry are still in their athletic primes. That has not seemed to affect Henry, who is coming off a 1,921-yard rushing season, but it has clearly taken a toll on Hopkins. The 32-year-old managed just 610 receiving yards in 2024, his fewest in a full season.</p><p>Despite Hopkins’ clearly diminished form, his presence provides meaningful experience to an otherwise young Ravens receiving room. Before his signing, Baltimore’s most experienced wideout was scarcely used seven-year veteran Anthony Miller.</p><h2><b>Ravens’ Super Bowl aspirations with DeAndre Hopkins addition</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Ravens.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>DeAndre Hopkins also joins the team as a proven winner, coming off a Super Bowl LIX appearance with the Kansas City Chiefs. The game marked the first Super Bowl appearance of his 12-year career.</p><p>While head coach John Harbaugh has a ring on his resume, neither one of Lamar Jackson or Derrick Henry has ever made a Super Bowl. Adding that level of experience to the roster made Hopkins one of the Ravens’ biggest free agency additions.</p><p>Coming off three consecutive playoff appearances — including one AFC Championship Game berth — the Ravens are aching to get over the hump and return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2012. They will seemingly have the best chance to do so in 2025 with their most complete roster of the Jackson-led era.</p><p>Despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-mark-andrews-breaks-silence-devastating-bills-loss">losing to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round</a>, the 2024 campaign was a highly successful one for Baltimore. Jackson took a considerable leap as a passer, leading to second-year wideout Zay Flowers’ first Pro Bowl nod. Regardless of the disappointing finish, the Ravens’ offense looked better than it ever had, including Jackson’s two MVP seasons.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Russini included one nugget about Henry, who is set to play on an expiring contract in 2025.</p><p>Russini asked Henry about his future in Baltimore at NFL Honors this week. Henry <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6123653/2025/02/09/nfl-news-rumors-myles-garrett-cooper-kupp-trade-talks/" rel="noopener">gave a very clear answer</a> that should have Ravens fans excited.</p><p>“I love Baltimore.

Thankfully, there are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2025-nfl-draft-order-prospects-targets">several intriguing tackle prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft.</a> This makes it incredibly likely that the Ravens use their first-round pick on a tackle who can play left tackle.</p><p>The 2025 NFL Draft also features a deep list of talented wide receivers. Baltimore has little reliable depth at the position behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. The Ravens have tried to add talent around Jackson for multiple offseasons at receiver, but it often fails to work. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-baltimores-shrewd-draft-move-makes-diontae-johnson-trade-even-sweeter">Diontae Johnson was the most recent example</a> of a player Baltimore traded for that didn’t end up working out.</p><p>This year’s free agency class is thin at receiver, so Ravens fans should expect their team to pick one during the draft.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Luckily, Lamar Jackson was patiently waiting for his elite running back to join the team. The two had a dynamic chemistry that many across the NFL could never figure out.</p><p>While the two made the playoffs, their season ended abruptly with the Buffalo Bills in a close game. Despite the loss, Henry said via NBC Sports that he <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/derrick-henry-on-lamar-jackson-i-came-in-being-a-teammate-and-found-a-brother" rel="noopener">found someone special this season</a> and someone who will be close to him for the rest of his life.</p><p>“I came in being a teammate and found a brother,” Henry said, via transcript from the team. “Lamar is what makes this team go, and he’s the reason why we still had a chance, so I’d tell him the same thing: hold his head high. He’s a Hall of Fame player and had a great season.</p><p>“It’s a team effort. We came up short together. It’s not on him. Forget what anybody else outside of what we [have] going on says. We believe in him, and we always [are] going [to] be behind his back.”</p><h2><b>Ravens’ Derrick Henry has Lamar Jackson’s back</b></h2><p>Despite the loss, the chemistry between the two has been unmatched. Both players had near career seasons playing alongside one another. Henry almost eclipsed 2,000 rushing yards, and had 16 rushing touchdowns. On the flip side, Jackson threw 41 touchdowns, along with only four interceptions. Not to mention, he had the <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3916387/lamar-jackson" rel="noopener">highest quarterback rating</a> in the league.</p><p>In their first season together, the Ravens captured the AFC North title, yet still had a Wild Card game. They took quick care of the Pittsburgh Steelers in front of their home crowd. Then, they traveled to Orchard Park and took on the Bills. A back-and-forth game kept many on the edge of their seats.</p><p>However, a Mark Andrews drop sealed the deal for the Bills and closed the door on a deep run in the playoffs for the Ravens. As a result, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-nsfw-rant-after-heartbreaking-loss-bills">Jackson dropped an NSFW response to the Bills’ loss</a>. At the end of the day, it’s another disappointing loss for Baltimore, after getting to the AFC championship.</p><p>While Buffalo moves on to play the Kansas City Chiefs, the Ravens will have to take a look in the mirror to see what needs to change. Luckily, the Henry and Jackson dynamic is clear as day and will continue to work. This could add more motivation and an even greater desire to get back to the AFC title game, and possibly the Super Bowl.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Many across the league believed John Harbaugh finally had the perfect complementary piece to Lamar Jackson. The Ravens and Henry, however, fell short of an AFC title game appearance in losing to the Buffalo Bills 27-25.</p><p>Henry and the Ravens entered Highmark Stadium with snow on the field and temperatures below freezing. Both presented the perfect elements for a power back like Henry to thrive in. But many fans questioned Henry’s usage in this divisional round contest.</p><p>Harbaugh fed Henry the football only 16 times. Henry tallied just 84 yards in falling below 100 yards. Harbaugh <a href="https://x.com/jeffzrebiec/status/1881174539515883754" rel="noopener">got 100% real</a> about Henry’s touches after the game, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.</p><p>“I don’t second guess any of that. We did what we tried to do to win the game,” Harbaugh said.</p><h2><b>Bills HC Sean McDermott reacts to countering Ravens’ Derrick Henry</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Derrick-Henry-running.jpg"><figcaption>Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Bills <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/3043078/derrick-henry" rel="noopener">became the ninth team to pull off this feat</a>: Hold “King Henry” to under 100 yards in a game.</p><p>Turns out the Buffalo defense carried motivation before taking on Henry. Bills head coach Sean McDermott <a href="https://x.com/CameronWolfe/status/1881174042100871484" rel="noopener">said outside noise fired up his defensive guys</a>, per Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network.</p><p>“Our guys heard it all week long: We’re not big enough, not fast enough. We’re not strong enough; we’re not talented enough,” McDermott said.</p><p>Henry struggled from the start of the opening offensive possession. He mustered only three carries for just four yards. Henry busted his biggest run during the Ravens’ second drive — following his left guard for a 10-yard gain. But that was the last time he touched the ball that drive.</p><p>Jackson lost the ball when Damar Hamlin poked it out. Von Miller nearly delivered the scoop-and-score by taking the ball back 39 yards.</p><p>The 31-year-old RB then handled two carries on the Ravens’ third drive, which ended in a field goal. Henry’s longest scamper went for only 17 yards.</p><p>Baltimore ran 57 total offensive plays. They ran the football 30 times while passed on 25 plays. But reserve back Justice Hill ended the evening averaging more yards (8.3) than Henry. Jackson also produced a higher average (6.5).</p><p>Henry arrived to Charm City bolstering the Super Bowl hype for the Ravens. But he and the Ravens walked out of Orchard Park tasting more postseason disappointment. And for Henry, it marks the fifth-straight season that he won’t play in the conference championship game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His feat was undeniably impressive, but it has <a href="https://rg.org/research/sports-data-analysis/saquon-barkey-breaks-2000-rushing-yards" rel="noopener">sparked debate about the factors</a> behind his success, particularly the role of Philadelphia’s elite offensive line.</p><p>Statistically, Barkley’s efficiency was his calling card. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry (YPC), ranking fourth among all 2,000-yard rushers in NFL history, behind legends like O.J. Simpson, Adrian Peterson, and Barry Sanders. However, his achievement wasn’t just about personal brilliance. Metrics like yards-before-contact (YBC) per carry reveal how much Barkley benefited from his environment. His 3.8 YBC was the highest in the league and far above the NFL average of 2.5. In contrast, Derrick Henry’s 2020 2,000-yard season saw him achieve the milestone with an average YBC of just 2.5.</p><p>The Eagles’ offensive line was another key factor. Ranked first by Pro Football Focus (PFF), the unit provided Barkley with exceptional blocking, a luxury most other 2,000-yard rushers didn’t have. This same offensive line has a history of elevating running backs; previous Eagles rushers, including Miles Sanders and DeAndre Swift, saw significant statistical drop-offs after leaving Philadelphia.</p><h2><b>Was Derrick Henry the best RB in the NFL in 2024?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Derrick-Henry-3.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Barkley’s season wasn’t without flaws, however. His first-down conversion rate of 23.8% was solid but not elite, ranking ninth among running backs with at least 200 carries. His running style also proved volatile, as he led the NFL with 46 runs of 10+ yards and seven of 40+ yards but suffered 33 tackles for loss, the second-most in the league.</p><p>Comparing Barkley to his peers further complicates the picture. Henry, for instance, posted a higher YPC (5.9) and outperformed Barkley in metrics like total yards above expectation (562 to 549) and per-carry efficiency (1.77 to 1.62). Henry also faced loaded defensive boxes on 33.23% of his carries compared to Barkley’s 20.58%, suggesting he succeeded in tougher circumstances.</p><p>Barkley’s journey to 2,000 yards was undoubtedly aided by the Eagles’ infrastructure, but that doesn’t diminish his talent. From his time with the New York Giants to his record-breaking plays in 2024, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-saquon-barkley-explains-backwards-hurdle-jaguars">including a backward hurdle against the Jaguars,</a> Barkley has consistently showcased rare athleticism.</p><p>Still, the question lingers: How much of his success was Barkley, and how much was the system? The debate underscores the broader issue of balancing individual performance with the supporting cast. As one recent poll indicated, many fans credit Barkley’s offensive line more than his abilities. Ultimately, Barkley’s 2024 season was remarkable but not without context—a blend of elite talent and optimal conditions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
