29, 2024, in Green Bay, Wis. (AP Photo/Mike Roemer) Some NFL veterans are making the most of second chances. Or even their fourth or fifth.
Derrick Henry looks just as good at 30 years old in a Baltimore Ravens uniform as he did as a twentysomething franchise player in Tennessee and Saquon Barkley is tearing it up in Philadelphia with a visit coming up in October to the Meadowlands to face his former teammates with the New York Giants. For Sam Darnold, his fourth stop on an NFL journey that began as a baby-faced 20-year-old is proving the charm and ageless Joe Flacco is still slinging it now with his fifth team. It's not like Henry was washed up when he bid a fond farewell to the Titans and their fans followng his final game at Nissan Stadium in a Tennessee uniform eight months ago, but he's making north of 30 look just as good as he did in his 20s.
Henry took the Ravens' first offensive snap 87 yards to the end zone for the longest touchdown run in franchise history Sunday.
