Derrick Henry

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team’s offense won’t be “reliant” on run-pass options in 2024.

Asked about using Derrick Henry in run-pass option (RPO) plays alongside Lamar Jackson in the Ravens backfield, Harbaugh said the team wouldn’t lean too heavily on RPOs this season. “I think we’re in the right place with our RPOs,” Harbaugh said. “I don’t think it’s something that we’re going to like go wholesale towards, because Lamar has got so many different ways he plays the game, and there are other things we like to do, to be honest with you. ... I don’t see us going towards like [a] specific offense that runs those more than anybody else. RPOs will be a part of what we’re doing, for sure, but they’re not going to be the main part of what we’re doing.” Jackson’s mobility has opened up running lanes for many Baltimore backs over the years, most recently Gus Edwards, who thrived in the red zone taking handoffs from Jackson on RPO play calls. Henry’s touchdown-base upside in the Baltimore offense is hard to overstate.
