One of the biggest advantages for young running backs entering theRavensorganization is the opportunity to learn directly from Derrick Henry every day. And based on Henry's comments during OTA media availability, rookie Adam Randall appears to be making a strong early impression.
Henry talked about Randall's physical traits, but what stood out most was the praise for the rookie's mentality and approach to work. That's usually the fastest way for young players to earn respect in a veteran locker room.

The Ravens don't need rookies trying to do too much in May. Coaches mainly want consistency, effort, and a willingness to learn. Speaking to reporters during OTAs, Henry said:
“I think he's a heck of a player, and since he's [arrived] here, he’s just been working, keeping his head down, working each and every day, wanting to learn and just wanting to get better. And that's all you want as a rookie. And I'm always going to be here to help him in any way I can.”
That mentorship could become extremely valuable for Randall moving forward. There may not be a better player for a young running back to learn from than Derrick Henry.
