Also, I don't think Henry should even be on this list. I think he's the worst RB of the Saban era, at least since before Ingram.

His size/speed combo is sick, but he doesn't actually seem that big until he's 10 yards past the line of scrimmage and running in a straight line toward the endzone. In that situation, there's no one better than him. But for the rest of the time, he's really not that scary compared to past RBs.

It's actually really weird - I don't understand how I guy that big can be so soft. He's the anti-Warrick Dunn. He's not a natural RB (in fact I'm not sure he wouldn't be better suited in some sort of 3/4 LB role), and you can immediately see that from his HS tapes. When Bama fans were all excited about him coming out of school, I was initially afraid: someone that big shouldn't be that fast. But after viewing his HS tapes I saw there was nothing to be afraid of: he was just the biggest guy on the field.

And FWIW, I get that same impression from Dylan Moses right now.

Now Bo Scarbrough scares the daylights out of me. His HS film was arguably better than LF's. I'm very excited to see him play (except against us, that is). Hope he can shake the issues that have been holding him back so we can enjoy what he can do.
