Watch: Ravens' Derrick Henry scores first TD of 2024 NFL season

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Sep 5, 2024 9:16 PM ET

The Baltimore Ravens made one of the biggest signings of the offseason when they signed running back Derrick Henry in free agency from the Tennessee Titans.

He wasted no time in making an impact, scoring the first touchdown of the 2024 NFL season for both the Ravens and the league.

Here it is as Henry powered his way into the end zone from five yards out.

Henry seemed like a perfect fit for the Ravens offense the moment he become a free agent, and he looked like a perfect fit on that run. He is one of the best running backs of this era and joins a Ravens team that is built almost entirely around the run.

As great as the Ravens running game has been in recent years, they have done it without ever having a running back on Henry's level. Putting him on that offense with that offensive line and Lamar Jackson could be quite the match.
