Derrick Henry on Bijan Robinson: He's the best in the game right now

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry wasted no time in praising Atlanta Falcons rookie Bijan Robinson as the NFL’s top back, declaring him the best in the league during a Thursday press conference. When asked about Robinson, Henry interrupted the reporter to immediately declare his dominance, highlighting the rookie’s versatility and ability to excel even when plays break down.

‘He’s doing it all,’ Henry said, emphasizing Robinson’s skill in both designed runs and improvising to extend gains. Though the two haven’t spent much time together off the field, Henry noted they’ve exchanged messages and plans to speak after Sunday’s Ravens-Falcons showdown, where the two will square off in a clash of the league’s elite backs.

The matchup promises to be a key test for both players as they vie for running back supremacy in the NFL’s most dynamic backfield battle.
