I know Derrick Henry is considered the frontrunner at this time, but Dalvin Cook’s season has been more impressive based on these numbers. Consider that Cook still accounts for a higher percentage of the school’s rushing and receiving yards despite missing a game and a half of action due to injury (hamstring and ankle). Add on the fact that Dalvin Cook stands alone in big play runs (10 percent is a huge figure) and yards after contact. Cook is doing this all on just 36% of the school’s offensive touches (compared to McCaffrey 45% and Henry’s 41%). The FSU running back is putting up numbers similar to Ezekiel Elliott’s dominant three game stretch to end last year, but for the entire season. Dalvin Cook has been the best running back in the country this year… That is not to say Derrick Henry has not been outstanding. He has. I’m an advocate of Henry’s in terms of his NFL projection. It is amazing how his numbers actually improve against better competition (top 25 ranked teams).

Henry has been good but Cook has really put together an impressive per-game season. But then again, momentum is in Henry's corner.
