Derrick Henry names Bijan Robinson the NFL's best running back

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has praised Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, calling him “the best in the game right now.” Speaking to reporters ahead of their Week 5 matchup, Henry noted that Robinson is “doing it all” and expressed respect for his ability to make plays even when offensive schemes do not go as planned.

Robinson enters the matchup with 494 rushing yards, ranking second in the NFL, and has recorded 614 total scrimmage yards through four games. His recent performance includes a 145-yard rushing game against the New Orleans Saints and a standout performance against the Green Bay Packers.

The upcoming game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium features a high-stakes running back battle. While Robinson looks to maintain his momentum, Henry remains a central figure for the Ravens, who are managing an ankle injury to starting quarterback Lamar Jackson. Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver indicated the team may adjust their defensive packages to limit Robinson's impact.
