Derrick Henry had a relatively quiet game by his standards on Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing for just 68 yards and a touchdown. More importantly, though, he helpedNow, Henry's long weekend gets even better. On Friday, the NFLPA named Henry as its community MVP for Week 10, honoring his work in supporting youth and underpriviledged communities.
Through his Two All Foundation, Henry has made a consistent effort throughout his career to support youth communites in his hometown of Yulee, Florida, in Nashville when he played for the Tennessee Titans and now in Baltimore. He worked with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee to provide kids with seasonal shopping trips, even after signing with the Ravens this offseason.
For Henry winning the award, the NFLPA will donate $10,00 dollars to a charity of his choice. He will also be eligible for the Alan Page Community Award, which is "the NFLPA’s highest player honor and includes an additional $100,000 donation." Henry is the second Raven to win the award this season. Rookie cornerback Nate Wiggins won it in Week 5 after hosting a special event for breast cancer patients and survivors at M&T Bank Stadium.
