Overview

  • Adam Sandler pledged in a video message that Henry will earn a role in an upcoming film plus a dinner together if he surpasses 2,000 rushing yards in 2025.
  • The incentive was arranged by Dan Patrick after Henry revealed on his show that Sandler is his favorite actor and that he’d love to meet him.
  • Henry fell just 79 yards short of the milestone with 1,921 yards in his first season with Baltimore following a two-year, $30 million extension.
  • Achieving 2,000 yards again would make Henry the first player in NFL history to reach that mark twice.
  • Henry thanked Patrick on social media for facilitating the offer and said the extra push will drive his offseason preparation.
