Ravens CB was '85% sure' star running back was heading to Baltimore

When the Oct. 31 trade deadline came and went, many were surprised that the Tennessee Titans did not move running back Derrick Henry.

However, had you asked Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey about the situation, he would have told you that he was supremely confident he would be calling Henry a teammate heading into Baltimore’s Week 9 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

"I was about 85% sure that King Henry would be suiting up for the Ravens,” Humphrey said on a recent episode of the “Punch Line” podcast. “It did not happen. My source was incorrect. He had me thinking it was a done deal.

"I got a text (that) somebody was going to be suiting up in purple. I got a text that somebody was going to walk into Baltimore, Maryland, (with) a height (of about) 6-4. I got a text that there was a very high chance that a guy that usually goes by 'King' was going to be in purple and black in M&T Bank Stadium very soon.”

The Ravens were one of a handful of teams, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys, who were rumored to be interested in the 29-year-old three-time All-Pro, and were the reported front-runners to land him, according to A to Z Sports.
