Olympic great Michael Phelps lends swimming expertise to hometown Ravens after players ask for assistance
While many of the Baltimore Ravens players have certainly excelled on the football gridiron, some of the NFL athletes apparently struggle in the swimming pool. After defensive back Marlon Humphrey and some of his Ravens teammates admitted they did not know how to swim, the team turned to a local expert for guidance. Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, certainly knows a thing or two about swimming techniques. Humphrey posted a social media video calling on the retired competitive swimmer and Baltimore native to lend the city's football team a helping hand. The video showed Humphrey, safety Kyle Hamilton, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, and tight end Charlie Kolar standing in the pool. "Did you know that one in three Ravens cannot swim," Hamilton said in the video. "Come to Ravens training camp in this beautiful aquatics center and teach us how to swim," Humphrey adds. Phelps seemed amenable to the idea, replying: "I got yall!!! Let's do it!!" Kolar said after practice Wednesday that he didn't realize Humphrey was going to post the video. "I should have known. It's so on brand," Kolar said. "I thought it was going to be like a story or maybe sent to him, but I should have known better. I should have known better." Phelps won 23 gold medals during his storied Olympic career. He was selected as the flag bearer for Team USA at the 2016 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro.

Key stats shows how dominant and explosive Derrick Henry can be in Ravens rushing attack
The Baltimore Ravens are starting training camp with a high-powered offense featuring top players at key positions. The team had a historic 2024 season, becoming the first in NFL history to achieve both 40 passing and 20 rushing touchdowns, along with 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards. Henry played a key role in those rushing yards, nearly eclipsing the 2,000-yard mark. Men lie, but numbers don't, and Gordon McGuinness of Pro Football Focus just revealed an eye-popping stat that demonstrates just how explosive and dominant the future Hall of Fame running back can be. In his first season with the Ravens, Henry rushed for 1,921 yards in 17 regular-season games and scored 16 touchdowns. He also added two scores through the air. Baltimore's success percentage last season, according to Next Gen Stats, was even better when eight or more defenders were near the line of scrimmage (50.9%), compared to a neutral defensive approach (43.4%). Of Henry's 16 rushing touchdowns last season, 14 came against a stacked box. This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Derrick Henry dominates yards after contact statistics
