Derrick Henry moves to seventh on the NFL's all-time rushing list

The Ravens running back passed Jerome Bettis (13,662) and LaDainian Tomlinson (13,684).

Derrick Henry, the star running back for the Baltimore Ravens, has moved to seventh on the NFL's all-time rushing list with a stellar performance against the Ravens' own team. Henry's 51 rushing yards in the first half of Thursday night's game propelled him past Jerome Bettis and LaDainian Tomlinson, placing him just behind Curtis Martin, who leads the list with 14,101 career rushing yards.

Henry currently has 13,650 career rushing yards and 632 yards for the season, averaging 1,578 yards over the past four seasons. If he continues at this pace and plays another three to four years, he may very well break Emmitt Smith's record of 18,355 yards, which Smith achieved at the age of 35.
