re: Will Derrick Henry return to school? Ex-NFL scout gives 4th round grade on Henry

Dude just broke the SEC single-season rushing record and won the Heisman. What could he possibly do in another year of college that would improve his draft stock? He's a downhill runner with great top end speed, and he would be exactly the same player next year.

Exactly... after winning the Heisman, Camp, Maxwell, and Walker awards - plus the all time SEC yards record - there's not much more he can do for accomplishments.

He could however do some skills development. The biggest area he could improve (or perhaps just prove himself) would be in pass catching ability. He's already improved his pass protection blocking significantly.

But, in our offensive scheme, I just don't see that type of opportunity presenting itself. Would love to see him stay, but realistically, he should be gone.
