Adam Sandler Promises Dinner, Movie Role to Ravens Derrick Henry Upon 2,000-Yard Rush

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has been challenged to rush for 2,000 yards in the 2025 NFL season, with the promise of a role in an Adam Sandler movie if he succeeds. This bet originated from Henry's appearance on the Dan Patrick Show, where host Dan Patrick offered to reach out to Sandler for the opportunity. Sandler responded enthusiastically with a personalized video, not only agreeing to put Henry in a movie but also inviting him to dinner. Henry, who narrowly missed the 2,000-yard mark last season with 1,921 yards, has achieved the feat once before in 2020, making this a challenging yet possible goal. The Ravens' strong offensive line and Henry's proven rushing capabilities add to his chances, while the added motivation of a movie role and dinner with Sandler has energized him. This unique crossover between sports and entertainment has captured widespread attention, highlighting Henry's drive for an extraordinary season.
