Staying in top physical shape is a crucial aspect for many athletes during their season, but running back Derrick Henry of the Baltimore Ravens takes this dedication to a whole new level. According to his financial adviser, Henry spends an impressive $240,000 each year on maintaining his physique, no matter the season.
In a recent interview with The Athletic, Henry gave some insight into his daily routine when it comes to his diet and nutrition. Like most professional players, he has a personal chef who prepares his meals, which consist mostly of natural and healthy options. Fried foods, gluten, dairy, and artificial sugars are not a part of his diet plan.
During the season, Henry typically starts eating his first meal around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, followed by another meal around 8 p.m. However, once the season is over, he shifts his eating schedule and has his first meal at 1 p.m. He shared that his plate usually includes three chicken breasts, rice, and broccoli, as well as gluten-free pancakes, scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, home fries, and steak.
It's evident that Henry's dedication to his diet and natural athletic abilities have paid off, as he has had 1,757 more rushing yards since the 2018 season, along with 37 more broken tackles and 27 more rushing touchdowns than any other NFL player.
Recently, the New York Post reported that Henry, who previously played for the Tennessee Titans for eight seasons, signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens, with $9 million guaranteed in 2024. Over the past six seasons, he has accumulated an impressive 8,268 rushing yards and 80 touchdowns, solidifying him as one of the best running backs in the league.
In related news, the Ravens have parted ways with Odell Beckham Jr., making him an unrestricted free agent. It will be interesting to see how the team adapts to this change and how Henry continues to excel in his position.
