‘More Motivated Than Ever,’ Henry Isn’t Thinking About Retirement
Coming off another highly productive season, Henry isn’t thinking about retirement any time soon.
“I’m motivated more than ever,” Henry told The Escapist’s D.J. Siddiqi. “I really appreciated this year and how it all went down, because it motivated me to be ready to get back when next year comes and work as hard as I can in the offseason to be better. I don’t have no timeline. I’m just ready to go.
“I feel great, man. I take care of my body, try to work as hard as I can, just so I’m ready year after year, and it’s been working. I feel great. Obviously, with age, things can slow down, but I feel great.”
Henry, who turned 32 earlier this month, finished this season second in rushing yards (1,595), second in rushing touchdowns (16), third in yards per carry (5.2), first in 20+-yard runs (17), and tied for second in 40+-yard runs (four).
Henry also discussed his relationship with his now-former head coach Harbaugh.
“First class coach, representing the organization in a first class way,” Henry said. “Held his players to the highest standard, which was play like a Raven. Utilize that every day you come into that building, in our practice field and leading to game days. Hall of Fame coach. I always appreciated his coaching. I’m sure he knows that.”
