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.
