Derrick Henry’s done pretty much everything you can in the NFL… well, almost. He’s got the 2020 Offensive Player of the Year award sitting on his shelf, he’s been to five Pro Bowls, and he’s led the league in rushing yards twice. At this point, it’s safe to say that whenever the Baltimore Ravens star decides to call it a career, he’ll be walking away with one heck of a résumé.

But when Henry sat down with Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show, she asked him the one question every fan’s wondered at some point: What’s still left on his checklist before he considers retirement? And, of course, it’s the big one. The Super Bowl.

“I want to win the Super Bowl,” the running back said when asked about the one thing he’s chasing. “I mean, I dream about it, I think about it every single day. And that’s what I want to. I want to win the Super Bowl. And you know, as long as I can keep going to get that moment and accomplish that, then I’m going to keep trying.”

Henry turned 31 this January, an age at which most running backs start to slow down. But clearly, that rule doesn’t apply to him. The Ravens’ star is still bulldozing through defenses like it’s 2020, and that’s great news for Baltimore fans. Because even at 31, Derrick Henry is still that guy. Take the last season, for instance.

Henry put up monster numbers. We’re talking about 325 carries for 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns. And nine weeks into the 2025 season, he’s still churning out yards like a machine: 629 rushing yards on 128 carries, with six touchdowns already on the board. The only wrinkle? The team around him.

Henry’s showing zero signs of slowing down in his 30s, but that long-awaited Super Bowl ring still eludes him. And that’s where the frustration lies, not with Henry, but with the Ravens, who’ve stumbled to a 3-5 record heading into their Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

There’s no doubt Henry’s got plenty left in the tank, maybe even a few more dominant seasons. But the real question isn’t about how much he has left. It’s whether he’ll finally get to lift that Lombardi Trophy before he hangs up the cleats.

Derrick Henry will retire when he feels “It’s time”

Derrick Henry entered the 2025 season, his second with the Ravens, with 106 career rushing touchdowns and ranked 19th on the all-time rush yards list with 11,423 yards. The signs were clear: Henry was heading into a historic season that had ESPN’s Jamison Hensley asking about how long he plans to play.

Henry, in his response, made things clear about his retirement. “I tell them: ‘When I feel like it’s time, I’ll hang it up,” Henry said before the start of the season. “But right now, I don’t see that anytime soon.”

That’s again great news for the Ravens’ supporters. After all, the 31-year-old just needs to rush for 1000 yards this season to etch his name among the greats. If Henry manages to tally almost 400 more rushing yards this season, he’d move up to the 11th on the all-time list ahead of Steven Jackson, Fred Taylor, Thurman Thomas, Franco Harris, Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James, and Jim Brown.

But then again, milestones are part of the NFL and Henry’s career. What he eventually wants before wrapping up his career is that one Lombardi Trophy. Whether he’ll win one or not? That remains to be seen.
