This^^^. Those 2 did it when defenses knew the run was coming 60 to 70% of the time.

While Derrick Henry is incredible and in the discussion, defenses couldn’t key on him due to more prolific passing offenses.


You do realize he had Jake Coker as his QB right? The year before that, it was Blake Sims. His Freshman year it was AJ, but he didn't get many carry's.

Sims was cut by the CFL after 1 week. Coker made it a little further, he wasn't drafted, but signed with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent and lasted almost 2 months before getting cut on the 75 man roster(long before the final cut).

Their QBs weren't super talented, but those teams had very good skill players and defenses still had to respect the threat of Cooper or Ridley going downfield and OJ Howard going up the seam.
