Browns safety makes bold claim ahead of Ravens game

Cleveland Browns fans beware; Derrick Henry may rush for a million yards on Sunday.

In all seriousness, the Baltimore Ravens star running back looks primed for a big day after a rather bold claim made by Browns safety Grant Delpit. During an interview on Thursday, Delpit was asked how hard it is to tackle Henry, and he responded with "not hard."

Saying it's not hard to tackle a monster back like Henry is almost like saying it's not hard to hit a 100-mph fastball. They're both extremely difficult to accomplish by some of the best players in the world.

Before last season, Delpit may have had a point, as in Henry's first five career games against Cleveland, he had just 184 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Last season, though, Henry rushed for 211 yards and three touchdowns in the two matchups against the Browns. He did so on just 31 carries, good for an average of 6.8 yards per carry. In total, Henry has 91 carries for 395 yards and five touchdowns in seven career games against Cleveland.

KING. HENRY.

As if Henry and the Ravens needed any extra motivation for Sunday while coming off last week's heartbreaking loss, they now have it. It wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see Henry given 20-25 carries and see how many yards he can rack up against Delpit and the Browns defense.
