He was the anti Fournette in that regard. I actually like Henry and I think Fournette and Henry need to learn from each other. Fournette needs to utilize his speed and crazy feet more (well he has a lot, but I WANT MOAR!), Henry needs to utilize his strength more. He won't run on LSU well at all if he doesn't.

Henry seems to take a while to gather momentum but, once he does, he is a load.

Who is faster: Fournette or Henry?
Fournette's times in high school were a little bit faster.
He's shaved off a few pounds this spring and got faster.

long runs last year were off the Left side where he was pretty much untouched. I can not remember him breaking many tackles at the LOS to get into the open. He was helped quite a bit by having the threat of Sims running the ball.
Yep. With a good offensive line, he's almost unstoppable (I mean look what he was doing to Ohio State). Anything average and with a pocket passer, I don't think he does nearly as well. He's a bigger version of Melvin Gordon with a less dominant OL. He has power, but onoy utilizes it when contact is unavoidable. He could put up crazy numbers next year if the OL improves.
That's what LSU's line was last year, average and when they were really bad early on, it added to our terrible QB play. It killed all our RBs. Now that our coach and new blocking is in year two, we should be much better out of the gate.

hilarious coming from an auburn fan
Auburn fans are the first to tell you a running QB helps a running back. If you have a QB that is not capable of running or passing, then your RBs are in trouble.

Didn't he run a hand-timed 4.3 at one point? Is he like a laser 4.4 now?

I don't know if he was timed, but Miles said he was notably faster.
Chubb is remarkably fast for a guy his size.

You're suppose to be seeing him (#27) knock the saftie's (#1) dick in his watchpocket.
He was number 13 FWIW.
It was a corner not a safety. First play from scrimmage in the game I think. He played great against OSU. I think him getting to the outside is a great move on sweeps/pitches because he has great speed to be out there and can run over smaller guys
