This weekend's "Sunday Night Football" matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens will feature two of the league's best running backs: one who's just getting started, and another who's still performing at an elite level in the twilight of his career. These two running back — Bijan Robinson and Derrick Henry — share a great deal of mutual respect. When speaking with reporters about Henry on Thursday, Robinson gushed over the positive impact the all-time great RB has had over the course of his football career.
"He's one of the guys that I've been watching for a long time. My respect for him is out of this world. The things that he's able to do still to this point, that's just a blessing," Robinson said.
"I'm really excited to get to watch him play in person. He's one of the role models who I look up to." When speaking to reporters on Thursday, Henry said Robinson is the best running back in the game right now. He’s doing it all,” Henry said.
