Honestly he just might be by the end of his career. I love watching the dude play, his motor never stops

You know Emmit Smith is way ahead of him on the boards right?

You never miss an opportunity to criticize a player from Bama. Your obsession is really sad and pathetic

McFadden would be dead with Henry’s workload

Smith also didn't have any defenders touching him until he was 5 yards down the field due to one of the greatest OLines of that era. Henry's has been rated middle of the pack or worse every year he's been in the league. Not terrible, but nothing like Emmit Smith had.

Time has added to the mystique of Herschel and Bo...no doubt they were great, but is either in the NFL HOF?

Derrick Henry is going to bust through the doors of the HOF.

Bo might be the best pure athlete to ever play in the SEC. But Henry is looking more and more like the best RB we've ever seen.

Could you imagine Henry behind that Cowboy offensive line, with Troy Aikman at QB, with Irvin, Novachek, and Harper drawing pass D attention, and Johnston blowing up LBs from the FB position to spring the King.

Smith was great, but situation was great as well. Barry Sanders may have ran for 2500 yds with those Cowboy teams.

Either way, you're a sad dude. Your Mac Jones/any 'Bama player in the NFL obsession is just weird at this point.

Hyde got trucked on an earlier play with Henry running almost wide open; credit it to him, he got the tackle (or Henry tripped going over him). But, Hyde remembered it on that last play. He dove just enough to give the appearance of effort. He did not want that pain again

I think Derrick is a slightly better pro (NFL that is) than Hershel. We’ll never know about Bo - cut way to short.

All were outstanding college players. 1-2-3 all-time in my opinion - doesn’t matter where you put them.
