“King Henry” has a new nickname.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry said in the team’s locker rooms Thursday that he appreciates the “Lightning McQueen” nickname given to him by quarterback Lamar Jackson. Henry, who has been nicknamed “King Henry” since high school, said he got a laugh out of the nickname and that he didn’t judge Jackson’s movie choice since everybody should recognize the main character of the “Cars” movie franchise.
