Ravens RB Derrick Henry rooting for Indiana HS player to pass his all-time mark: 'Go get it, go break the record'

Derrick Henry, despite the Baltimore Ravens' struggles in the 2025 NFL season, continues to ascend in the NFL rushing record books while holding a national high school rushing record of 12,124 yards from his time at Yulee High. He is actively rooting for Knox High senior Myles McLaughlin to break this record, as McLaughlin currently has 11,004 career yards and needs 1,121 more with up to four games remaining in his season. Henry expressed his support on the "Up and Adams Show," encouraging McLaughlin to shatter the record and win the state championship, emphasizing that records are meant to be broken.

In his NFL career, Henry recently became the 17th player in history to rush for 12,000 yards and has surpassed Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Walter Payton on the all-time rushing touchdowns list, now ranking fifth with 112 touchdowns. He is close to exceeding his high school yardage mark in the NFL, currently at 12,052 regular-season yards. Henry draws parallels between his own achievements and McLaughlin's potential, hoping the high school player can emulate his success while he focuses on helping the Ravens rally from a 1-5 start to pursue his first Super Bowl victory.

In other NFL updates, the New York Jets have made significant changes, including benching linebacker Quincy as part of a broader team shakeup. Additionally, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will be sidelined for Week 10 due to a concussion sustained in Week 9, as confirmed by coach DeMeco Ryans.
