Former Alabama running back Derrick Henry remains one of the top running backs in the NFL and shows he won't be hanging up his cleats anytime soon.

And with that came another NFL record and a “milestone day” for “King Henry.”

In the first quarter of Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals, Henry became the 27th player in NFL history to reach the 100-touchdown mark in his career.

Watch: Derrick Henry scores his 100th NFL touchdown against the Bengals

Here's a look at Henry's 100th NFL career touchdown, which came on a third-and-goal to give the Ravens an early 7-0 lead at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The 6-foot-1 running back is in his first season with the Ravens after signing with Baltimore in the offseason after eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans.

Finding the back of the end zone was second nature to Henry, dating back to his time at Alabama and before. In three seasons in Tuscaloosa with the Crimson Tide, Henry scored a total of 45 touchdowns and ran for 3,591 yards.

He is one of four Alabama players to win the Heisman Trophy Award, presented during the 2014-15 college football season, when he ran for 2,219 yards and set the SEC conference record for rushing touchdowns with 28.

But that wasn't the only record or benchmark Henry checked on Sunday.

With a five-yard carry in the second quarter, Henry became the 31st running back in NFL history and the first since Marshawn Lynch in 2017 to surpass 10,000 career rushing yards.
