Ravens RB Derrick Henry joins elite company after first TD of season 

The 31-year-old former NFL Offensive Player of the Year (2020) passed the legendary Jim Brown with his 107th career rushing touchdown.

Derrick Henry can move up the all-time list 

And in all likelihood, Henry will keep moving up the list as he builds his case for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Henry is now three shy of Walter Payton's 110. After passing Payton, Adrian Peterson will be next with 120 and then Marcus Allen above him with 123. 

But breaking the record might be a mountain too steep to climb. 

To no surprise, Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher, also holds the record for the most rushing touchdowns. Smith scored a staggering 164 touchdowns on the ground.

The Baltimore Ravens' star RB is more than TDs

Beyond just scoring, Henry entered the season with 11,423 yards for an average of 4.9 yards per touch. He also had 174 receptions and five career touchdowns as a receiver before kickoff on Sunday night. 

A national champion and Heisman Trophy winner in college at Alabama, Henry was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. He signed with the Ravens ahead of the 2024 season, finishing the year with one of the best seasons of his career. 

Henry rushed for 1,921 yards and scored 16 touchdowns with Baltimore last season. And based on his Week 1 performance, he's showing no signs of slowing down and might actually be poised for an even more explosive 2025.
