NBA superstar LeBron James recently revealed one of his favorite NFL players while discussing his Super Bowl predictions for this season. The Los Angeles Lakers legend, known for his basketball dominance, shared his insights on the NFL and named the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens as his picks for the Super Bowl.
A key reason behind James’ choice of the Ravens was his admiration for Derrick Henry, one of the NFL’s top running backs. This season marks Henry’s first year with Baltimore after spending eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans, where he established himself as not just one of the best running backs but one of the best players in the league.
During his time with the Titans, Henry accumulated an impressive 2,030 rushing attempts for 9,502 yards and 90 touchdowns, averaging 4.7 yards per carry. As he approaches the 10,000-yard mark—an achievement only 31 players in NFL history have reached—Henry is solidifying his place among the all-time greats. Despite turning 30, which is considered a challenging age for running backs with heavy workloads, Henry remains a force on the field. Even if he’s not at his peak, LeBron believes Henry’s presence will still make him a highly effective player in the Ravens’ offense.
LeBron’s praise for Henry, coupled with his Super Bowl predictions, shows that his love for football is just as strong as his passion for basketball, and fans are excited to see if his picks pan out this season.
