Henry was a Beast no doubt. There's also no doubt that he isn't in the same class with Jackson or Walker either. Take off the crimson glasses and you'll see that as well




Well, take off the puke Orange and blue
glasses you have on and prove me wrong!

Neither Bo nor Herschel put together a year like Henry when they won their Heismans. Lastly, neither Bo nor Walker
can match Henry's best season in the pros nor will they come close to his career ydg and tds when Henry hangs up his cleats.

Henry is truly in a class all by himself. In the future 240 lb, 6'3 type running backs who can will there teams to victory and are durable with the uncanny ability of just getting stronger as the game goes on while the carries mount up, will be measured up against Henry. The GOAT! Not being boastful just telling it like it is!!

Can u dig it!

I knew u could!

Henry has the most complete RB resume, probably ever.

1. HS - Most HS rushing yards all-time, USA Today All-American

2. College - All American, Heisman, National Championship, All-time SEC rushing title

3. Pro - All Pro, NFL rushing title

Quite amazing really. Will go down as one of the best all-time - in all levels of the game.

Don’t see how anyone can think he is disrespected. Plus, the guy is making bank as of the last few weeks.

Most HS rushing yards all-time

As a senior in high school, Henry averaged 9.2 yards per carry and 328 yards per game, finishing the season with a Florida state-record 4,261 yards and 55 touchdowns.

And yet somehow his team (Yulee) lost four freaking games that year.

He got the Heisman. You found a questionable list.

Henry gets the exact amount of credit he deserves, probably a little more.

He was a great workhorse back that had a great year on a great team with a great OL and Defense.

He also averaged 5.5 yards a carry, and if he didn't get almost 400 carries we wouldn't be talking about his college career at all.

Bo Jackson is the best running back and the best athlete the SEC has ever produced. Derrick Henry is a damn good running back

Outside of his freshmen year where he had 35 carried he never averaged 6 yards a carry.

Once he got real carries he was a 5.8 and 5.5 YPC player.

He was a grinder.

He is one of the best "grinders" of all time though, while also being a home-run threat every time he touches the ball. That's kind of the point.

The point is that grinders aren't the best backs.

He beat Walkers 20+ year SEC rushing record on less carries.

So, what the hell are you talking about?

i edited.

I'll just post it again in this post

He is one of the best "grinders" of all time though, *while also being a home-run threat every time he touches the ball.

which is why he is absolutely one of the greatest ever on the college level.

And it seems like he is breaking NFL records every game he plays in lately.

even with all his big runs 5.5 yards means he is not doing much with all the other ones.
