Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (22) rushes against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023, in Tampa, Fla.

The NFL world has been clamoring for Derrick Henry to come to Baltimore and their dreams have (reportedly) come true.

Here's the reaction to the two-year agreement Henry and the Ravens reportedly struck Tuesday afternoon:

Derrick Henry to Ravens, who continue to collect the biggest bad asses around. He might be the most Raven-like RB ever. Still strong between tackles, still can break a long run. With Lamar and their read-option, he’ll have space to gain speed and maximize his power. Look out 🚂

Derrick Henry to the Ravens:

Fit grade: A+++

Believe that's the first ever A+++.

@KingHenry_2 with the @Ravens & @Lj_era8 Lord have mercy on the rest of the league because it's a rap!!! The @NBA would've Blocked this move. WOW! This is epic but I hate the way we've allowed the RB position to be devalued. #CoachPrime

I can’t think of a back that fits the AFC North more than Derrick Henry. These games against Pittsburgh and Cleveland will be fun

Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson in the backfield…

Is Henry sticking with #22 or going back to the college days with #2? https://t.co/yy7upUnp91

Who has the most rushing yards since 2018? Derrick Henry.

Who has the most rushing yards by a QB since 2018? Lamar Jackson.

The @Ravens are putting the @NFL on notice today! #DynamicDuo
