ESPN Sports Science on Derrick Henry

On his first 5 yard acceleration:

"Derrick Henry had the fastest time of any player in any position that we've tested in the last 3 drafts."


Over 20 yards:

"Henry didn't just finish with the fastest time for running backs this year... over 20 yards, he actually had the best time of any offensive player we analyzed in this draft, and he couples that with a bigger frame than the average NFL Linebacker."


When running through 1,500lbs of Heavy Bags:

"27% faster than any RB we've tested in the last 4 drafts."

1.397 seconds - Derrick Henry
1.915 seconds - Carlos Hyde
1.980 seconds - Kenjon Barner

"When he gets into the open field, he can build up the same momentum as a wrecking ball swinging at about 5mph."
