Derrick Henry made an interesting style change while his Baltimore Ravens were off for Week 14.

Henry changed up his hairstyle and got rid of his dreadlocks. Instead, he now has some cornrows. The stylist who did Henry’s hair posted a video on Instagram Sunday that shows the running back’s new style.

What’s notable is how much shorter Henry’s hair is now.

Previously, Henry’s hair was sticking out the back of his helmet and therefore a potential target for opposing defenses. That issue won’t exist now, which could be helpful, not that Henry needs much assistance.

Henry is in his first season with the Ravens and having a great year. He has carried the ball 240 times for 1,407 yards and 13 touchdowns. He is second only to Saquon Barkley in rushing yards, and his 13 rushing touchdowns leads the NFL.
