It almost looks fake the way Derrick Henry moves at his size, and Lamar Jackson got fictional flashes when watching him against the Steelers.
After Henry ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns in Baltimore's wild-card playoff win, Jackson said it's like watching Lightning McQueen from the movie "Cars" when Henry hits his stride.
"It looks like a movie clip," Jackson said. "... You know when Lightning McQueen is just flying and flashing past, and it's like '(whooshing sound).' That's how Derrick looked when he was running past all those guys."
Henry is embracing his new nickname, saying this week he doesn't want to be called anything besides "McQueen."
"Don't call me Derrick, just call me McQueen," Henry said with a smile. "I'm kidding, it was funny. I didn't think that would be the comparison, but 'L' is 'L.' I told him he needs to be a comedian when he's done playing, but I definitely got a kick and a laugh out of that.
"I just made sure, I was said, 'Were you serious on that?' He was like, 'I'm dead serious.' I was like, 'OK, well, McQueen it is then.' ... I'm sure everybody knows about the 'Ka-chow' because everybody has seen Lightning McQueen."
Asked what car he would be if Henry is Lightning McQueen, Jackson said he isn't part of the race.
"I'm no car. I'm just chilling. I'm just watching the show," he said with a laugh.
The big man can move, just like McQueen, and Jackson is just happy he doesn't have to deal with it.
"It looked like a movie, I'm not going to lie to you," he said. "But I'd rather be watching it than be on the other side of the ball; I know that."
