Derrick Henry’s spot in future Adam Sandler film hinges on cracking this NFL milestone
NY Post
Coming to the big screen near you: Adam Sandler and Derrick Henry (maybe).
This week, Baltimore’s star running back revealed to Dan Patrick, a good friend of Sandler’s, that Sandler is his favorite actor and that he’d love to meet him one day.
Patrick then upped the ante as he told Henry, who compiled 1,921 rushing yards last season in his first year with the Ravens, that if he could surpass 2,000 yards next season, he’d make sure to get him a spot in a Sandler movie.
The iconic actor and comedian agreed wholeheartedly.
“Yo Derrick, I just woke up, you know that. That’s why I look disgusting — on top of the fact that I am disgusting,” Sandler joked at the start of a video message for Henry. “I love ya, congrats on everything, 2,000 yards-plus gets you not only in the movie, but we have a nice dinner together and we talk about Dan Patrick’s facial hair and how hard it is to grow it.”
Henry watched the video, grinning ear to ear.
