Mike Tomlin explains reluctance to name Derrick Henry on podcast

Mike Tomlin, during an appearance on the New Heights podcast with Travis Kelce, discussed his decision not to mention Derrick Henry by name. He explained that his loyalty to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens influenced this choice. Tomlin suggested that acknowledging Henry, now a key player for the Ravens, could undermine his team's focus. His comments came during a broadcast of a Ravens game, where it was noted that Henry's presence continues to impact Tomlin's approach even after his coaching days.
