Baltimore Ravens rookie Adam Randall credited veteran teammate Derrick Henry for helping refine his offensive technique following a 41-3 preseason victory over the Washington Commanders. Randall, who contributed as both a runner and receiver during the finale, successfully executed a stiff arm that he attributed to daily practice and guidance from Henry and running backs coach Eddie Faulkner. The rookie explained that the coaching staff emphasizes specific ball placement to free the inside arm for such maneuvers, a skill that Henry has mastered over his career. Randall noted that Henry provided immediate feedback on the sideline after the play. This behind-the-scenes mentorship indicates that Henry is actively involved in developing the team's younger running backs beyond his own on-field responsibilities. The collaboration between the veteran and the rookie remains a focal point as the team prepares for the upcoming regular season.
