Touchdowns are king. That's why Shaun's '04 season is above Henry's 2020. 3 more total TDs despite Derrick having 2,000 yds.
I'm trying to collect signed helmets from this group. Really trying to get an entire set of Bama RB starters since 1992 since its the first season I remember. Between my dad and I we have:
Trent Richardson- game worn, signed by entire 2011 team
Mark Ingram- game worn, signed by 2009 team(Dads*)
Mark Ingram- signed Saints mini-helmet
Derrick Henry- signed Titans mini-helmet
Sherman Williams-signed Bama mini helmet
Shaun Alexander- Signed replica Seahawks helmet, have his jersey too, trying to get it signed.
*only RB Dad has
If anyone has authenticated signed helmets from any of the other guys I'm looking for and wants to sell, hmu.

Edit: I did not intelligently read the title.

In that recent podcast, Derrick Henry said he would rank Shaun Alexander first simply because of what he did at Bama with less talent around him.

Alexander should have had back to back rushing titles those years. He was one yard short in 2004 and Mike Holmgren simply would not give him a carry. Usually in the NFL if a player is close to a record like that, they just give him the ball every single play until he gets it. It was a major controversy how Holmgren screwed him over that season.

Great feature from NFL Films on Alexander made after Henry won his first rushing title.
Still my favorite Bama player, if my sig pic didn't make it too obvious.

Shaun was not only a great player, he is a great human being.

Agreed. And he loves Bama. There's a great interview with him after the 2008 UGA blackout massacre where he predicts that Saban and Bama are about to have some "Bear Bryant type days." Man, was he spot on or what?
