I am pretty shocked by this. Henry weighed in at 247lbs for his combine. When I look at them, it is hard to fathom LF7 is only 7 pounds lighter. He must have some serious weight in his legs.




Also, Henry ran a 4.54 at 247. So if LF doesnt beat that, Bama fans are going in dry

Makes sense - he was listed at 235 lbs last season(so it's possible he was actually 240 then too).

Yeh but how is he only 7lbs lighter? Henry is a solid 2 inches taller, and wider and bigger in the upper body. LF must be one of those freaks with huge bones and a heavy arse

I hope the Jags draft him. Either Lynyrd or J. Adams.

Derrick Henry has chicken legs. Just his natural build but he is Top heavy. Doesn't mean he does t have good leg strength, just doesn't have the bulky muscle in the legs


Fournette looks stout below the waist. Really solid base

Yea he does - compare the two. LF7 has tree trunks.

Yep. Just shows how much weight can come from your legs. In street clothes, you would never guess they were 7 lbs apart.

Derrick has a unique body, which is why it was so hard for people to predict where he would play or how he would play at running back.

His speed and legs are like a wide receiver, especially when he gets a step. His upper body build seemed to mask that to a lot of people who underestimated his speed and labeled him a bruiser.

Glad he skipped his bowl to get in shape for the combine

If LF runs a 4.43 (Vegas prediction) at 240 lbs., that is going to make him lots of cash.

I really hope his ankle doesn't frick with him though. Guy is a freak of nature.

Me too. I, as an LSU fan, hope it becomes a tradition that all draft players skip the bowl game unless it is in the playoffs. Gets more reps for the guys returning and improves the program.

Thanks for you interest in the betterment of lsu football

He missed the bowl because of a high ankle sprain, which would easily explain the weight gain.

It boggles my mind that if he somehow doesn't run a 4.43 people will say he's not really that fast......despite film of him exploding through and running past every secondary he ever played against sans Alabama.

It will be a joke of all jokes

AP ran a 4.41 at 217 lbs

If LF runs a 4.43 at 240, the media is going to go nuts And the Bama fans on this board will start no less than 5 threads about busts and being overrated.

He seems like a great kid. I hope he crushes it and I pray that he doesn't end up in Carolina or anywhere else in the NFC South.
