Derrick Henry and Minkah Fitzpatrick are two of the greatest players to ever suit up in an Alabama football uniform.

Henry and Fitzpatrick were stars on the Crimson Tide’s 2015 national championship team, which capped its season with a thrilling 45-40 victory over Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers in Glendale, Ariz.

Henry won the Heisman Trophy with an incredible 2015 season, eventually finishing with 2,219 rushing yards and 28 touchdown runs. Fitzpatrick was a true freshman that year and had two interceptions returned for touchdowns — in the same game, Alabama’s 41-23 rout of No. 9 Texas A&M in College Station — to go with 11 pass breakups, two sacks and a punt return touchdown.

But NFL games often pit college teammates against one another, especially when you have the number of former players in the league that Alabama does. Take Saturday’s AFC Wild Card showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Henry helped set a tone early for what was in store for the rest of the night — with a move he used on Fitzpatrick of all people.

With around six minutes to go in the first quarter, Henry took a direct snap and went 34 yards for a first down to the Pittsburgh 12-yard line. Before he was brought down, Henry delivered his signature stiff-arm move on Fitzpatrick near the end of the play.

“And there’s the infamous stiff-arm by Derrick Henry on Minkah Fitzpatrick at the end of that play,” Kirk Herbstreit exclaimed on the Amazon Prime broadcast of the game.

Henry’s run was the 10th play of a 13-play Ravens drive that covered 95 yards and chewed 7:13 off the clock. It was the type of drive that brings back memories of Henry’s time at Alabama.

Later, Henry would squash any slim hopes the Steelers had of a comeback when he took a handoff 44 yards to the house to give Baltimore a 28-7 lead with 5:49 to play in the third quarter.

The Ravens won, 28-14, setting up a showdown with either the Buffalo Bills or DeMeco Ryans’ Houston Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs next week.

Henry finished with 186 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries (7.2 YPC), bringing his season total to 18 rushing TDs. It was the second week in a row that he ran for two scores, and the fifth time this season he found the end-zone twice in a game.

Playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024, Henry racked up 1,921 rushing yards, plus 193 receiving yards on 19 catches.
