Not saying Henry isn't fast, but a lot of athletes run slower at the combine than they do at the Opening. Landon Collins, for example, ran a 4.42 and won the SPARQ championship, only to run over a tenth slower at the combine at 4.53. He did gain a good bit of weight in college FWIW, but that's just one example.

Except anyone who watched Landon in games knew he was on the slower end of that scale.
Anyone who has watched Derek run away from cornerbacks in the SEC knows that he is still incredibly fast, especially for his size. He is a legitimate break away back.
