5. Willie Henry:

Willie Henry went from a complete non-factor to a productive asset to the defensive line. Henry was in on 42 tackles and had 3.5 sacks this season. That is impressive work from a player who recorded no statistics in his rookie season. Henry certainly took a step forward this year.

Don’t count him out:

It goes to show you that judging a draft pick too early is an easy mistake to make. If I told you before the season that Henry would be the Ravens’ best pass rushing defensive tackle, you would not have believed me. Henry exceeded expectations by a longshot.

Henry will be a part of the plan next season. He has the capability to grow from here. It woukd not surprise me if Henry becomes a five or six sack player for the purple and black next season.
