He will run a fast 40 yard dash.

The scouts question his lateral quickness and say he struggles to "create" while running. Some also think he requires a lane to get going. Once he gets going, he's hard to catch/tackle. However, it seemed that if there was any penetration into the backfield that disrupted the play, Derrick Henry didn't have quick enough feet to get away.

I think he goes 2nd round.

Yea, I'd say 2nd-3rd. Kind of depends how the board falls and who needs what.

Pretty much agree with all of this.

What's amazing is that so many people on tRant say he's slow. I don't remember him ever getting caught from behind at Bama. If he gets going, it's over.
