As an Auburn fan, I have no problem hearing this argument. Henry is an all timer and putting together a hall of fame worthy career.

Bo’s legacy will always be built on his “Paul Bunyan” persona. As mentioned, if you want to truly overtake Bo, you’ve got to have top talent at multiple sports and have highlight reels in both sports. Gotta have track records and be a celebrity off the field as well.

frick Auburn with a fist-sized treble hook.

But Bo Jackson is one of the all-time greats.

Derrick Henry benefits from a bunch of soft defenses.

Since Bo's career was cut short, you can't compare NFL careers fairly. I think Bo was faster and Henry has a better stiff arm. Both run/ran with power. Bo's baseball and celebrity status are not relevent for this topic. But since Bo did suffer a career ending injury too soon, this whole thread is moot anyway.
