Saban recently asked about Derrick Henry again.

Alabama coach Nick Saban was asked about running back Derrick Henry on the SEC coaches teleconference on Wednesday. "We’re excited about his future," Saban said. "He’s a hard worker, he’s a fine young man, tries to do everything the right way on and off the field. So we’re encouraged by his progress and we think that he’s capable of making a tremendous contribution to our team in a lot of different ways. Now he’s sort of comfortable in what is expected of him not only in running the ball but running pass routes, catching the ball, pass protection, being a complete player at his position, I think he’s much more confident and feels like he can make a tremendous contribution as well."

Saban sure does praise Henry a lot. I think he likes him.
