In a video, which was reposted by IIona Maher on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Derrick Henry could be saying, “Get off me!” The American running back went on, full of appreciation for her. “She got it. Mindset. Running strong and hard, not trying to go down. Get into the end zone by any means.”
The 30-year-old further said, “Make me want to get out there, too.” It shows how impressed the Ravens' RB has been with her performance recently at the Summer Games. IIona has become one of the biggest stars of the Olympic women’s rugby sevens competition.
Her tough running style has led her nation to earn a spot on Tuesday against New Zealand in the semifinal. Maher might also lead the United States to its first Olympic rugby medal after the sport was added back to the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
On the other hand, the Ravens' star is well known in his career for his tough running style. He has had multiple unforgettable stiff arms of his own during his tenure with the Tennessee Titans. Maybe that's why the American footballer couldn't resist but pour some kind words and praise for the rising rugby star.
