After seeing a lot of film on both of these guys in both High School and College it really comes down to this..
How similar they are.
I know fans of both teams will bash me for this, but the more I watch these guys, the more I see the similarities in style. Granted Fournette probably is more "shake and bake" and Henry is the "thunder"..both of them are downhill runners, aren't afraid to punish a linebacker, and have deceptive breakaway speed. Henry is the bigger back and a freak of nature, the size of an NFL linebacker with NFL corner speed. Fournette a human highlight reel who has the potential to turn the game around on every play.
Henry is the best running back I've ever seen play at Alabama..a manchild..I was saying that watching him in H/S. Fournette is just getting better, is already one of the top running backs in football, and still isn't old enough to legally drink alcohol. Both guys could easily play in the NFL RIGHT NOW.
Well enough blabbering..All I have to say about these two players is that it is truly a treat to have both of these guys in the SEC at the same time..they are going to make some lucky NFL team a stud All-Pro Running back. LSU and Alabama are truly the de facto NFL factories of the NCAA

Can argue about their differences all day but what cannot be disputed is that they are both high-character men who represent their schools and the SEC with tremendous class!

The SEVEN PAGE thread on DH and LF that's currently on the first page wasn't good enough for you?
