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

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.

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.
