Derrick Henry again wows the social media crowd with another eye-popping display of elite athleticism.
Who remembers those Scooby Doo cartoons? Remember those episodes when they captured the foe and unmasked them to reveal the enemy’s true identity? It’s been a while since that’s been thought of by most of us adults. Then, Derrick Henry joined the Baltimore Ravens last season.

Henry is going to break the internet doing this, and once the season begins, he’ll break the ankles of the defenders trying to tackle him and the hearts of those cheering against him. Another brilliant season is loading.
