Adam Sandler Will Cast Derrick Henry in a Movie, but There’s a Catch

The actor has promised to get Henry into one of his films if the Ravens running back rushes for 2,000 yards in the 2025 season.

From five Pro Bowls to two rushing titles to an Offensive Player of the Year award, Derrick Henry has done just about everything an NFL running back can do. One thing he hasn’t done is earn an acting credit by appearing in a movie, but that could change shortly.

The future Hall of Famer has an arrangement with actor Adam Sandler to appear in one of the comedian’s movies if Henry reaches 2,000 rushing yards in the 2025 season. It happens to be a milestone that Henry has previously reached.
