Derrick Henry Surpasses His Own High School Rushing Total, Rises to 15th All-Time

The Ravens star’s 75-yard day lifted his NFL career tally to 12,127 yards, reinforcing a résumé already tracking with Hall of Fame company.

Overview

  • In a 27-19 win over the Vikings, Henry reached 12,127 NFL rushing yards, eclipsing the 12,124 yards he amassed at Yulee High School.
  • Henry passed Hall of Famers Thurman Thomas and Franco Harris to move into 15th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list and sits under 200 yards from Jim Brown at No. 11.
  • Earlier this season he became one of 17 players to top 12,000 rushing yards, and he took sole possession of fifth in career rushing touchdowns with 112, passing Walter Payton.
  • Baltimore improved to 4-5 with a third straight victory as Henry remained a focal point of the offense following Lamar Jackson’s return.
  • High school senior Myles McLaughlin of Knox (Ind.) has surpassed 11,000 career rushing yards and is within range of Henry’s national mark, drawing Henry’s public encouragement to “go break it.”
