Derrick Henry will go down as the greatest RB in history for his time

I hate it. I really wanted Fournette to be the man but he is such a cuck. We have some great RB's in the NFL and in college but I believe Henry is just special. He'll end up out-doing all the greats before he is done. He is that good and will be durable unlike other Bama RB's (and QB's).
If he could just get that hairline and grill fixed. Roll tide, I guess.
This will get downvoted by my own people but IDGAF. I call it like it is.

Probably. A lot of it depends on where he goes throughout his career. He has the body type that will allow him to stay in the league a long time.

By what metric? Guys like Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott are his contemporaries.
In 2014, Gordon had more yards on fewer touches than Henry did in 2015, when Henry won the Heisman. Gordon has also made two Pro Bowls to Henry's one Pro Bowl.
Elliott has arguably had a better pro career than either of them, and he has made three Pro Bowls in four seasons.
Henry is good. His past two seasons have been outstanding. But I'm just not seeing "Greatest RB in history for his time" reflected in the numbers.

The disappointing part is that it took the Titans 3 seasons to realize Derrick Henry is not the type of HB who needs to split carries to "stay fresh." The Titans could have avoided a lot of disappointment with one phone call to Nick Saban, who also figured that out the hard way. His 2015 Iron Bowl against AU is up there with Tre Mason's 2013 SEC title game performance in the ultimate SEC alpha male performances of all time. 46 carries, 271 yards. And he was more dominant in the 4th quarter than in the 1st. That's just how he is wired.

He has been good in college and is doing good in the NFL. I’m happy for him

Imagine getting kicked out of the game for slapping a Butt

He is a great RB and a better man.

Probably a little early to say that. Russell Wilson currently has more career rushing yards than Henry so maybe slow down a bit.

It's a good thing Aggie, Ryan Tannehill, showed up to help his career out.
