Derrick Henry is well on his way to being among the best running backs in NFL history, so he knows greatness when he sees it. He didn't have to look far on Sunday night.
Though the Ravens were able to keep Falcons running back Bijan Robinson relatively under control, the fourth-year star still had some dazzling moments in his 118 total yards. Henry took notice and had the highest of praise for the Falcons running back after Baltimore's overtime win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Falcons released mic'd-up footage of the postgame exchange, and Henry seemingly caught Robinson by surprise with the huge compliment.

Henry told Robinson that the Falcons running back could be "the greatest ever." And when Robinson tried
to humbly deflect the compliment, Henry reiterated, "I'm talking about you."
It was a great show of respect between two superstars at the position.
