Not sure of the A or D, but I'm serious. He's a total freak, huge and fast, truly one of a kind...

My only concern was that he ran a little upright. Pad level and all that. Happy he’s doing well though. Seems like a nice young man.

Need to ask a Bama fan but I don't remember him getting hurt in college. He's just so powerful and fast, and I always thought he would be one of the great ones if he can avoid injuries...

Only time DH got hurt was a broken fibula his freshman year at Bama during the Spring. He was ready for the season.

He got worked at Bama and he didn't break, he almost got better the more you let him touch the ball...

My take on Henry was..

I watch him run and I don't think his style will do him much good in the NFL.

"But shite, he left HS the all time leading rusher in Florida.
He left Alabama with the single season SEC rushing record.
I ain't betting against this kid in the NFL."

And Boom wanted to make him a Linebacker... Hence the reason he went to Bama

Not watching the game but the stats are surprising the hell out of me. Henry's problem was never strength or speed. The problem I thought he would have in the NFL was the fact that d-lines are much faster and shiftier than CFB, on the average, so I saw him being stymied at the LOS -- nobody's strong enough to just shake off a pair of linemen clogging up a gap. Unless you're taking it outside every single time, and that's a good way to get anticipated, you need to be at least a little shifty. Didn't think Henry had that in him, but I guess I was wrong.

Still think he should have switched to LB. He could have been an all-time great there, with his physical attributes.

He has a chance to rush for over 1,000 yards this season. He's at 882 yards with two games left.

Agreed. He was always a beast if he could get into the secondary. He's really a giant speed back. He was never the bruiser people thought. He's tall and can't Dodge tackles in the backfield before he gets going. But, used the right way, he can put up huge numbers.

If he gets to the second level and can get a head of steam going, he's gonna outrun guys who are 50lbs lighter than him. You pretty much need to trip him up early in the play. If he gets good blocking he's a friggin nightmare

Richardson was lazy and entitled. As Titan fan, I was worried that he was similar earlier this season. When they talked trading him, a fire was lit. He could be special.
