2. Derrick Henry (RB/FB, like Nudie)

If this is even remotely close to ever happening, it will prove once and for all that HS accomplishments mean absolutely zero when evaluating college talent. The guy broke a record once held by Barry effing Sanders. Does that mean he's not a good RB? No. But he sure isn't Barry Sanders. How has he performed relative to what you would expect from allegedly the greatest HS RB in history? Go back and pull up some old stats on Max Preps. 100+ yard games against good teams and 300+ yard games against against crappy teams. Don't get me wrong, the guy has done a good job for us. But expectations are a heck of a lot higher for the all time HS yardage leader.
