Ravens' Derrick Henry reacts to Rugby star Ilona Maher's bruising run fans compared to his own

Team USA Rugby Sevens star Ilona Maher has made a name for herself in the 2024 Paris Olympics thanks to bruising running that fans have compared to Ravens star Derrick Henry.

USA women Rugby Sevens squad made Olympic history after defeating Australia to win bronze — the first-ever medal in the Games for the event. The Rugby Sevens squad has gained tons of popularity as this team has run through the competition in Paris, and one of its stars, Ilona Maher, has been a main reason why. Maher’s competitive spirit has shined in the Olympics, especially when she has the ball in her hands.

' In a sport that requires some heavy hitting, Maher went searching for contact against Japan when she started sprinting up the right side of the field with opponents in her way. Instead, of trying to run around them, Maher ran right through the closest Japanese player, knocking her to the ground with a stiff arm for the ages. Maher, then, was off to the races in the blowout victory over Japan.
